The government of József Antall was the first governing cabinet of Hungary after the end of Communism. It was elected in 1990 in the first free and fair democratic elections since 1945. The government was a center-right coalition of the Hungarian Democratic Forum, the Independent Smallholders' Party and the Christian Democratic People's Party. The government began the process of transitioning to a market economy, overseeing the withdrawal of Soviet troops, and consolidating Hungary's new multi-party order.
The government underwent a minor crisis when the FKGP split into two groups on 24 February 1992. A group of 33 then 36 MPs) continued to support the government, while a group of 12 then 10 MPs went into opposition. The former officially established the United Smallholders' Party in November 1993.
Antall died in office on 12 December 1993, and Interior Minister Péter Boross subsequently took over as prime minister.
