Balatonboglár is a resort town situated on the south shore of Lake Balaton in Somogy County, Hungary.

The city is host to a statue honoring a controversial figure in Hungarian history, Pál Teleki, who was twice prime minister of Hungary.

This was reflected in a public dispute covered in the Hungarian media during early 2004 over a statue of him, marking the 63rd anniversary of his death.

The statue by sculptor Tibor Rieger [hu] was originally to be installed opposite the President's official residence in Budapest.

[2] Balatonboglar had during World War II been host to thousands of Polish refugees who opened in that town one of only two secondary schools for Poles in Europe during 1939-1944.
