Ministers of Tisza Government Take Oath of Office

The sixteen ministers of the Tisza government took their oath of office on Tuesday afternoon in parliament.

At the parliamentary session, Prime Minister Péter Magyar introduced the ministers who then took their oath in a ceremony before the historic flags and signed the relevant documents. He described the task ahead for his government as "work of historic proportions."

Introducing his cabinet to parliament, the PM stated that they must repair two decades of destruction, division, decline, and lost trust while transforming Hungary into a functional, livable country that believed in itself again.

"We do not claim we will not make mistakes – we will, and when we do, we will admit to making them," he said, urging MPs to support the government's work with their proposals, criticism, and by highlighting real problems.

Péter Magyar called on every Hungarian – whether they voted for the Tisza Party or not - to monitor the government's work, hold it accountable, debate its actions, and speak out if it strayed from the path they were now embarking on together.

"Hungary is the common home of every Hungarian, and the government being formed today will be the government of every Hungarian," he declared.

The ministerial nominees were heard on Monday and Tuesday morning by the parliamentary committees with authority over their respective portfolios, and the committees supported the appointment of all sixteen nominees.

The ministers were appointed by the head of state in the early afternoon at the recommendation of the prime minister. Speaker of Parliament Ágnes Forsthoffer announced at the session that, in accordance with the Fundamental Law, the government of Hungary has been formed with the appointment of the ministers.
