Even in times of trouble, it was visible: the government offices functioned well

In the past 10 years, a system has been created with the government offices and district offices that can quickly respond to challenges - István György, State Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office responsible for territorial administration, said in an interview with Magyar Nemzet on the occasion of Civil Servants' and Government Servants' Day.

The ruling party politician also spoke about another big task awaiting them: the validity of hundreds of thousands of expired documents must be extended, which is why he asks the affected customers not to postpone the administration until the last moment.

The implementation of the vaccination campaign - for which István György was responsible - evaluated the public administration's performance as follows: the first shipment of vaccines arrived in Hungary on December 26, and

FIVE MILLION PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VACCINATED UNTIL MAY 22.

This is the result of the cooperation of many thousands of people.

THANKS TO THE ACQUISITION OF EASTERN VACCINES AND THE WELL-ORGANIZED VACCINATION PROGRAM, WE GAIN AN ADVANTAGE OF TWO AND A HALF MONTHS IN VACCINATION COMPARED TO OTHER EU MEMBER STATES.

It is of particular importance that, in addition to the protection against the epidemic, the economy can be restarted as soon as possible and the "peacetime", normalized order of family and social relations can be restored.

WE ARE ONE OF THE MOST REJECTED COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD.

Today, the government has achieved that within days anyone can receive any of the six approved vaccines in Hungary, which is unique in the whole world.

According to the State Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office responsible for regional public administration, the success of the vaccination program is due to the fact that, in addition to the support of the health workers, the public administration also played a huge role in this, the county defense committees led by the government commissioners brought together the county bodies of health care providers, the police, disaster management and the national defense his work.

It would be unfair not to mention the self-sacrificing work of the workers in the social sector, with which they helped in the fight against the epidemic in an exemplary way.

July 1 was Civil Servants' Day, so I would like to highlight how important the workers of government offices and district offices were in the fight against the epidemic, said István György. The entire logistical background was provided by the coordinating role of government offices.

THEREFORE, DURING THE EPIDEMIC, IT WAS TURNED OUT THAT TEN YEARS AGO, THE GOVERNMENT BEGAN AND CONSISTENTLY CONTINUED THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE TERRITORIAL ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM, WHICH PROVES THAT THE TERRITORIAL ADMINISTRATION CAN RESPOND QUICKLY TO ANY CHALLENGE.

Unfortunately, the opposition's ruminations had a deterrent effect, and false rumors about individual vaccines also had a negative effect. Fortunately, their baselessness has now been proven. All vaccines used in our country are safe and effective.

With regard to the vaccination of Hungarians across the border, he said: today, people living in border counties of neighboring countries are also vaccinated, so not only Hungarians, but everyone who comes from the regions designated by the Minister of the Interior.
