Bálint Pásztor , the vice-president and leader of the parliamentary faction of the Vojvodina Hungarian Party, wrote on social media that the government has never appointed state secretaries so quickly, and the fact that in some portfolios VMSZ politicians were appointed before the state secretaries of other parties is proof of good cooperation. .
The VMSZ retained its previous positions in the ministries of education, health, agriculture, infrastructure, justice, environmental protection, and finance, and also became the representative of Vojvodina Hungarians in the newly created investment ministry.
Ferenc Vickó was the state secretary in the Ministry of Health for the last eight years, and he was again nominated for this position.
