during the dual monarchy, budapest had much greater autonomy than other towns in countryside, thus the lord mayor had much less jurisdiction than ispáns (or lord lieutenants) of the counties. it was because of the restricted suffrage and virilism which secured wide room for maneuver for the upper middle class and the elite senior administrative bureaucracy. this tendency had crucially been changed after the defeat in world war i and the outbreak of the aster revolution on 31 october 1918. budapest became the main scene of revolutionary activity. following the formation of the hungarian soviet republic in march 1919, mayor tivadar bódy was deposed and the communist regime set up an executive committee to administer the capital city. after the collapse of the soviet republic, admiral miklós horthy entered budapest at the head of the national army on 16 november 1919. he was greeted by the recurrent bódy and other city officials in front of the hotel gellért. in a fiery speech horthy accused the capital's citizens of betraying hungary by supporting bolshevism. on the other hand, after the abolishment of virilism and expansion of suffrage in 1920, a party-based political system has evolved in the general assembly of budapest, which became more democratic and liberal than other parts of hungary.
