The Father of the Compromise





On Roosevelt Square in Budapest is a monument to Ferenc Deak, the politician who made the compromise with the Habsburgers that created the double monarchy. He was a speaker for moderate reforms which led to the union of the three cities of Buda, Pest and Óbuda into one city, Budapest.
