A 2026-os költségvetés-elemzésből
400 million Ft for a commemoration you never voted on.
A one-off national-budget appropriation for the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Mohács: subjective allocation of public funds by political officeholders to a cultural-commemorative event, with no contracted counterparty and no entitlement at stake.
About 100 Ft per taxpayer — 400 million Ft total — compulsory contribution to a single commemorative event, regardless of whether that is how any individual would choose to mark the occasion.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: a state-funded commemorative programme marking 1526. The unseen: the four million individual taxpayers whose involuntary contributions fund a cultural allocation they were never asked about, replacing four million separate judgements about how to mark — or not mark — a historical anniversary with one officeholder's decision.
Ellenvetés
"The Battle of Mohács is a defining moment in Hungarian history — a 500th anniversary deserves a dignified national commemoration."
Válasz
A commemoration that the public genuinely values will be funded by those who value it: through voluntary contribution, sponsorship, admission, and the participation of the historical and cultural organisations for which Mohács is significant. Compelling every taxpayer to fund a one-off event they did not request converts an act of commemoration into an involuntary levy. The public is not prevented from marking the anniversary — it is freed to do so on its own terms.
Share if you think commemorations funded voluntarily mean more than those paid for by compulsion.

Indoklás
A one-off appropriation for commemorating the 500th anniversary of the 1526 Battle of Mohács. A discretionary central grant for a commemorative event is subjective allocation of national tax revenue by political officeholders to a cultural-commemorative activity. It is not a rights-protection function, not a constitutional precondition, not a response to involuntary harm; and as a one-off event grant it has no dependency chain and no contracted counterparty whose good-faith reliance would be violated by its removal. The seen beneficiary is the commemorative programme; the unseen cost-bearer is the general taxpayer who funds it without being asked whether a 400 millió Ft state-funded commemoration is what they would choose. A commemoration the public genuinely values can be funded by those who value it — through voluntary contribution, sponsorship, admission, and the participation of the historical and cultural organisations for which Mohács is significant. Classified Immediate Cut: there is no transition to manage, because there is no protected reliance interest.
Átállási mechanizmus
Eliminate in the budget cycle. A commemoration proceeds on voluntary funding to the extent the public values it.
Érintett csoportok
The commemorative programme; no contracted counterparty with a good-faith reliance claim.
