The Presidential Council of the Hungarian People's Republic was the collective presidency of Hungary during the Communist era. It was created in 1949, following the enactment of a new, Soviet-style constitution that year. As the standing body of the National Assembly (the supreme state organ), it was originally vested with broad powers during the interim of parliamentary sessions. It’s jurisdiction was limited throughout the moderate liberalization witnessed during the Kadar era. Along with the state itself, it was abolished on 23 October 1989.
