5.9 billion Ft of taxpayer money, about to leave democracy permanently
A new public-interest asset-management foundation is about to receive a 5,884 million Ft endowment from the state budget — moving public funds into a vehicle no future parliament can reclaim and no future government can redirect.
About 1,476 Ft per taxpayer — a one-time transfer to a self-perpetuating foundation board that no subsequent budget majority can reverse.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: a new foundation with a public-interest mandate, endowed with taxpayer money and public assets to pursue its stated purpose. The unseen: every future taxpayer and every future parliament — permanently locked out of these 5.9 billion Ft and the assets they buy, regardless of how the foundation's stated purpose performs or how priorities change.
Ellenvetés
"Foundations provide stable, long-term funding for important public functions without the volatility of annual budgets."
Válasz
Stability is worth paying for when the underlying purpose is durable and the governance is accountable. An endowment funded by involuntary tax and governed by a self-perpetuating board that no future election can change is not a foundation in the classical sense — it is a permanent removal of public resources from democratic control. The reform is simple: do not make the endowment. Nothing is wound down because nothing yet exists; the money stays in the general budget.
Share if you think public money moved into a foundation should remain under democratic control.

Indoklás
This line provides the founding endowment for one more közérdekű vagyonkezelő alapítvány — a public-interest asset-management foundation. The model transfers public assets and a cash endowment into a foundation governed by a self-perpetuating board, placing the assets permanently outside the annual budget process and outside the reach of any future parliamentary majority. Whatever the stated public purpose, the structural effect is to move 5,884.6 millió Ft of taxpayer money into a vehicle that no future budget can reclaim and no future government can redirect — a one-way removal of public funds from democratic fiscal control. The classical-liberal objection is not to foundations as such; it is to the conversion of involuntarily-collected tax into a permanent endowment governed by an unaccountable board. A new endowment of this kind is the cleanest possible Immediate Cut: nothing is being wound down, no reliance interest has yet formed, the money simply is not committed.
Átállási mechanizmus
Do not make the endowment. The funds remain in the general budget.
Érintett csoportok
None — the foundation does not yet exist; no party has relied on it.
