A heritage institute spending 75 million Ft a year on new assets — frozen
Capital investment at the National Heritage Institute is held flat: a body with a finite custodial mandate does not need a growing capital programme.
About 19 Ft per taxpayer per year — capital acquisitions for an institute maintaining a fixed stock of protected sites.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: new equipment, IT systems, and minor capital works for an institute maintaining Hungary's national graveyard and memorial registry. The unseen: the building-up of a capital base in a state body whose mandate — a finite stock of existing sites — does not warrant capital expansion.
Ellenvetés
"Some of these are necessary replacements, not expansions — you can't freeze replacement capital."
Válasz
A nominal freeze does not prohibit replacement within the envelope; it prevents the envelope from growing. The 75 million Ft held flat still covers replacement needs within the finite mandate. A body marking existing graves and maintaining existing sites does not need an expanding capital budget; what it needs is a review of whether a heritage foundation with its own endowment would carry the mandate more efficiently.
Share if you think capital budgets for state bodies with finite mandates should be held flat.

Indoklás
The Institute maintains the Nemzeti Sírkert (National Graveyard) and the registry of protected memorial sites — a bounded, finite custodial mandate. It is not a rights-protection function, but it is self-limiting: the stock of graves and memorial sites does not expand on a budget cycle. An outright cut would strand a custodial obligation toward physical heritage that has no private claimant ready to assume it; an expansion is unwarranted. Nominal freeze is the honest classification — hold the allocation flat and let inflation erode the real envelope by roughly 20-25% over a decade, during which the custodial arrangement can be reviewed against a foundation or trust model. The Institute is, like the Institute for National Strategy, named in the government's restructuring list with Veritas as successor;[^1] if that absorption proceeds, the freeze simply carries into the successor's books.
Átállási mechanizmus
Hold nominal allocation at 2,477.1 millió Ft. Review within the decade for transfer of custodial functions to a heritage foundation funded partly by its own 225.0 millió Ft revenue stream.
Érintett csoportok
None displaced in the freeze period; staff and custodial obligations continue.
