In a Facebook post, Magyar described Gorog as the "uncrowned queen of Hungary's legal profession" and highlighted her two and a half decades of academic, professional and public service as a guarantee for rebuilding Hungary's constitutional order, rule of law, checks and balances and legal certainty.

He said Gorog was one of the country's most distinguished legal scholars, a member of the Hungarian Lawyers Association's board, and of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences' Committee on Legal and Political Sciences.

Beyond her academic work, she has played a leading role in higher education quality assurance as chair of the Accreditation College of the Hungarian Accreditation Committee, he added.

Magyar said her key priorities as minister would be restoring professional standards in legislation, ensuring transparent lawmaking and fostering substantive expert and public consultation before passing laws.

He underlined the need to guarantee that independent oversight institutions and authorities operated on a professional basis, free from political influence.

Additionally, he said, the task of creating the legal conditions required to unlock European Union funds owed to Hungary would fall to the incoming Tisza government's justice minister.

Magyar had originally named Marton Mellethei-Barna as his candidate for justice minister, but Mellethei-Barna withdrew from the nomination on Thursday.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, Magyar said he would still rely on Mellethei-Barna's work and patriotism as an MP. He also thanked Mellethei-Barna for his "commitment to his country, the change of system, and the Tisza community".
