The Magyary Programme for Public Service
It is the common goal of us all that there should be public administration which befriends citizens,’ said Tibor Navracsics, Minister of Public Administration and Justice on Tuesday at the presentation of the Zoltán Magyary Programme for the development of public administration.
Mr. Navracsics said that the influence of the work that Zoltán Magyary carried out between the two world wars also has an afterlife, as the problems of that time and the answers that were found for them are also the problems of modern state administration.

The goal is that the Magyary Programme should be a continuously updated action programme adapting to the needs and aims of the times, which can make the development of public administration predictable. The Minister went on to say that in Hungary over the last twenty years there have been attempts to answer the challenges of state administration, and almost fifty government rulings have been issued in this area – but even then the plans were not usually followed by action.
The Magyary Programme articulates conceptions in four areas: in organisational development, in public administration tasks, in the regulation of public administration procedure and in human resources questions. ‘We have tried to make progress in these four areas over the last year, as shown by the formation of the new ministerial structure and of government offices,’ said Mr. Navracsics.

The Minister said that the task is to articulate what the purpose of public administration is. It is not merely the mechanical implementation of policy, but action which is enriched by values, which is oriented in the right direction: towards the creation of the public good, meaning the nation’s prosperity, growth and stability. Public administration can also aid in the creation of a strong country, if it helps the nation to be competitive, and to show solidarity and transparency of action. He underlined the fact that the Magyary Programme can bring us closer to the ideal of the ‘Good State’.
András Levente Gál, Minister of State for Public Administration, said that the Magyary Programme can be the ‘leavening’ for the transformation of public administration. He said that this is the first version of a programme that can realise the vision of Zoltán Magyary for public administration reform combined with constitutionality.
