Lajos Návay

Lajos Návay de Földeák (18 September 1870 – 29 April 1919) was a Hungarian jurist and politician, who served as Speaker of the House of Representatives between 1911 and 1912.

His paternal grandfather was Tamás Návay, Lord Lieutenant (Count; comes) of Csanád County, parliamentary emissary and member of the House of Magnates.

Prime Minister Sándor Wekerle resigned on 30 October 1918 and King Charles IV designated Count János Hadik to the position.

Návay would have been the Minister of the Interior if the cabinet could have formed but the Aster Revolution swept away the old system and Count Mihály Károlyi became new premier of the country.

Simultaneously Tibor Szamuely, leading figure of the Red Terror arrived to Makó to take revenge for the murder of People's Commissar Kálmán Vásárhelyi on 23 April 1919.

He was murdered in the railway station in Kiskunfélegyháza along with his cousin, Iván Návay and Chief Notary for Szentes, Béla Kiss.
