169 millió Ft, no named recipients — who decides who gets it?
A discretionary ministry grant pool with no published formula, no named beneficiaries, and no competitive-tender requirement — allocation by the minister's preference.
169 millió Ft in total — roughly 40 Ft per taxpayer — distributed to unnamed organisations at the minister's discretion, with no competitive channel or published criteria.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: professional legal organisations and programmes receiving grants to do useful work. The unseen: every taxpayer funding a transfer whose recipients are chosen by one officeholder, with no formula to constrain the choice and no rival applicant to test whether the funded work is the best use of the money.
Ellenvetés
"But professional legal bodies need support — the legal system depends on them."
Válasz
Bodies doing genuine professional work can be funded through competitive-tender or formula-based channels, or by the members and users who value that work. The objection defends the function, not the mechanism. A discretionary grant pool concentrates the allocation choice in one office regardless of who holds it — the problem is structural, not personal.
Share if you think professional grants should follow transparent criteria, not ministerial preference.

Indoklás
This is a chapter-managed appropriation for "supported organisations and professional programmes" under the ministry's supervision. The budget line gives no breakdown of recipients or programme content — the appropriation is a discretionary grant pool whose allocation is decided by the minister. A grant pool with no named recipient and no statutory formula is the textbook structure of subjective allocation by a political officeholder: the benefit is concentrated on whichever organisations the ministry chooses to support, the cost is spread across all taxpayers, and the recipients acquire an institutional interest in the line's continuation independent of the value of any particular grant. The function — to the extent the supported organisations do work that has value — does not depend on a discretionary ministry pool; bodies doing genuine professional work can be funded through transparent, formula-based or competitively-tendered channels, or by the members and users who value the work. The line is small, but the size of a line is not the criterion; the mechanism is.
Átállási mechanizmus
Phase-Out over 2 years, linear glide. Year 1 honours grant commitments already made to current recipients (the protected party is organisations that have planned activity around an expected grant) and disburses half the line; Year 2 winds the pool to zero. Organisations doing work with genuine professional value migrate to formula-based or competitive funding where such a channel exists, or to membership and user financing.
Érintett csoportok
The organisations currently receiving grants from the pool. The commitment-honouring window protects activity already planned against an expected disbursement.
