POLITICAL SYSTEM IN HUNGARY
Executive power – government functions and the highest-level control of public administration – is exercised by the government, in which the Prime Minister plays a dominant role. The National Assembly elects the Prime Minister on the basis of the principle of parliamentary majority, concurrently approving the government programme.
|
The establishment of ministries is the prerogative of the National Assembly’; their list is set out in law. Ministries are headed by the ministers, who are members of the government. Senior officials of the ministries are the political and administrative under-secretaries.
