In a short time, he became a close confidant of Antall, who entrusted him with the Ministry of Culture and Public Education in a government reshuffle in early 1993. Sitting in the chair of two of his important idols, J\u00f3zsef E\u00f6tv\u00f6s and Lor\u00e1nd E\u00f6tv\u00f6s, M\u00e1dl saw his main task as laying the legal foundations for the new institutional system. Thanks to his decades of experience in legal codification, he was responsible for the drafting and preparation of the most important sectoral laws (public education, higher education, hungarian academy of sciences) and regulations. Although he had previously excelled in a number of difficult areas, it seems clear from the available sources that M\u00e1dl&#8217;s greatest successes as a politician were achieved as Minister of Culture.    <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister in the Antall government Ferenc M\u00e1dl as Minister of Culture and Education in his office (with approval of \u00c9va Sepsy-Kov\u00e1cs) It is hardly known, but Professor M\u00e1dl argued for&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"parent":1575,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","iawp_total_views":19,"footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-1593","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin  -
