Karoly Grosz (August 1 1930 January 7 1996) was a Hungarian socialist politician.
Grosz was born in Miskolc, Hungary. He joined the Communist Party in 1945 at the age of 14. Soon the Communists had established a regime in Hungary, and Grosz rose through the party ranks, becoming an important party leader in his native region. In 1974 he became the head of the Department of Agitation and Propaganda of the governing Hungarian Socialist Workers Party.
In 1979 Grosz went back to Miskolc after he came into conflict with party leader Janos Kadar. In 1985 he returned to national prominance as the head of the party in Budapest. In 1987, probably in an attempt to prevent Grosz from becoming his successor, Grosz appointed him Prime Minister. In 1988 Grosz deposed Kadar in a party congress, and became leader of the party. He remained Prime Minister until later that year, and general secretary until 1989, when he opposed reforms which were occurring in Hungary and many other socialist eastern European countries, and he himself was deposed in a party congress. His hardline faction of the Hungarian Socialist Party was soundly defeated in multiparty elections in 1990. Grosz died in Godollo, Hungary.
