János Bóka’s task is
assist the Prime Minister in his negotiations with the Member States of the European Union and representatives of the EU institutions.
It will participate in the preparation of government meetings on EU issues and discuss with ministers the position of the Hungarian government in relation to EU membership, said the head of the Prime Minister’s Press Office.
It will be recalled that at the end of December the Prime Minister reorganized the supervision of EU affairs in the government, Telex wrote in this regard that the Prime Minister once again has personal responsibility in several important points of relations with the institutions of the Union European, which directly imply bargaining powers. The decree also names the “Prime Minister’s Secretary of State for European Union Affairs” as the person who represents or replaces him in these negotiations on behalf of the Prime Minister. This position is now held by János Bóka.
By the way, János Bóka’s name had already leaked on Friday afternoon, and in his article in Népszava he wrote that the former Secretary of State for the Ministry of Justice had become Viktor Orbán’s Chief Foreign Policy Advisor as the successor to the newly late Péter Gottfried. János Bóka’s most important task will be to mediate disputes that are expected to arise between the European Commission and the government, just like Péter Gottfried.
Népszava also recalls that two people left Judit Varga’s portfolio from the Minister of Justice, which also suggests that the management of EU affairs will be under the direct supervision of Viktor Orbán. In addition to János Bóka, Attila Steiner also transferred the “Secretary of State for European Affairs” from the Ministry of Innovation and Technology to the Ministry of Innovation and Technology, where he assumed the position of head of the Government Secretariat to “Implement the Action Plan of Climate and Nature ”.
