Ludovic Csupor , Hungarian Lajos Csupor (born  August 19, 1911 in Târgu Mureş , Transylvania , Austria-Hungary ; †  1985 in Târgu Mureş, Romania ) was a communist politician in Romania.

Cuspor was of Hungarian nationality. However, since he grew up in a time when his Transylvanian home already from Hungary separated and Romania had been affiliated, Csupor was in a Romanian environment socialized . His parents worked in a tailor's shop, and after seven years at school, Csupor also initially trained as a tailor . As a member of the Red Aid (Ajutorul Rosu) and union member he fought the effects of the global economic crisis and the royal dictatorship Carol II. And was in 1930 arrested several times. Among his fellow inmates in prison was the later Romanian politician Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej , with whom he became a lifelong friend. Although Northern Transylvania fell back to Hungary again in 1940, Csupor was one of the first Hungarian activists to support the Romanian revolution of August 23, 1944 and to welcome the liberation of Târgu Mureș by Romanian (and Soviet) troops. In December 1944 he became a member of the Romanian Communist Party . After the war, Csupor was initially active in the communist district association in Mureș , then from 1950 to 1952 first secretary of the party in the district association of the newly founded Stalin region ( Brașov ).

Party and government leader Gheorghiu-Dej made Csupor first secretary of the party in the newly formed Hungarian Autonomous Region in 1952 and a member of the party's central committee in 1955 . From 1952 to 1957 he was also a member of the Romanian National Assembly for Târgu Mureş, from 1957 then for Gheorgheni . He remained party leader in the Hungarian Autonomous Region until July 1961, when he was replaced in this office by the Romanian Iosif Banc . After Gheorghiu-Dej's death, the region was dissolved in 1968, and from 1969 Csupor was no longer a member of the Central Committee and a member of the Gheorgheni Committee.
