At the official opening on Tuesday of a “government window” serving the needs of the public in Sárbogárd, Fejér County, the Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office said that Hungarian public administration is undergoing the biggest transformation it has seen in the last 150 years; as a result of this, by late autumn 2015 citizens will be able to deal with at least 300 administrative matters at 278 government windows in almost 200 districts.
Minister János Lázár pointed out that the aim is to enable government windows and district offices to simplify and accelerate administration.
Managing administrative matters should not be a waste of time, an extra burden or stress but – if possible – a process which can assist every citizen in addressing problems.
The Minister announced that, at the request of Fidesz MP Gábor Varga, the Government will soon fulfil a long-standing need in Sárbogárd: establishment of a second post office in the town.
Mr. Lázár underlined that the Government must be a facilitator and not a hindrance in managing administrative matters.
The Minister added that “In the past 25 years, Hungarian governments have taken care of the administrative matters of several groups – including bankers, brokers and usurers; so it is high time that a government should take care of the matters of those living in Sárbogárd and facing problems.”
Mr. Lázár indicated that as many as 2 000 types of case – far more than the current 300 types – could be managed at government windows, and the Government is seeking to create the conditions for this.
