If you want to connect an individual to that statue, I'd check one of the "betyár"s (outlaws similar to Robin Hood). Both of the most famous ones are depicted similarly: Rózsa Sándor and Sobri Jóska (in eastern name order).
The figure is not detailed enough to decide if it's someone in particular or just a guy in a traditional outfit.

It's a generic Hungarian cowboy wearing a traditional Szűr, rather than anyone in particular.
(h/t JustCal for this specific image.)
I checked whether it might Széchenyi, Batthyány, Kossuth, or one of the other Hungarian leaders who regularly pop up as place names. The beard style matches none of them.
