Rogán was responsible for the special parties.

A 2017 government decision appointed the Minister of National Development responsible for national holidays and other key events, but there has been no such position since 2018. His successor was the Ministry of Innovation and Technology (ITM). The Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff has now been appointed.

In the future, it will be responsible for the modification, postponement, or interruption of the event in an emergency, which may be proposed by lower-ranking operating personnel. Antal Rogán will lead the Interministerial Coordination Working Group made up of representatives of the other competent ministries, of which he has only been a member until now. ITM has not received any tasks now.

The task of the Chief of Staff is to develop the concept of the national event, direct its official and priority institutional coordination, and define and coordinate complete information on the population and contact with the public service media.
