- Share via
BUDAPEST, Hungary — Former leader Janos Kadar will be buried July 14, a day after President Bush ends his visit to Hungary, state radio reported Friday.
The funeral for Kadar, who died Thursday, comes less than one month after an elaborate reburial ceremony for Imre Nagy, the leader of the failed 1956 uprising who was executed on charges of high treason under Kadar’s leadership in 1958.
Kadar will be interred at the Imre Mezoe cemetery in Budapest, where senior communist leaders traditionally are buried. The radio gave no other details.
According to a medical report issued by MTI state news agency Friday, Kadar died of respiratory and circulatory failure after suffering increasing respiratory difficulties for 15 years.
