Hungarian Revolution of 1956

The Local Revolutionary Councils Had been Officially Sanctioned

Tuesday Oct 30, 1956
Hungary

Local revolutionary councils formed throughout Hungary, generally without involvement from the preoccupied National Government in Budapest, and assumed various responsibilities of local government from the defunct Communist party. By 30 October, these councils had been officially sanctioned by the Hungarian Working People's Party, and the Nagy government asked for their support as "autonomous, democratic local organs formed during the Revolution".
