4.3 billion Ft in cross-border national-policy transfers — a discretionary grant pool beyond Hungary's borders
National-policy activities and cross-border Hungarian support consume 4,333 million Ft in discretionary transfers — grant-making for communities and activities in foreign jurisdictions, allocated by political officeholders.
About 1,086 Ft per taxpayer per year for cross-border national-policy transfers — discretionary grants to communities in neighbouring countries, allocated by the same mechanism as the civil and church grant pools.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: support for Hungarian cultural, educational, and civic organisations in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, and Ukraine — communities that maintain Hungarian language and identity across the border. The unseen: the domestic Hungarian worker whose tax funds discretionary grants in foreign jurisdictions, allocated by the same political-selector mechanism that operates in the civil and church grant pools at home.
Ellenvetés
"Hungarians across the border face assimilation pressure — state support for their cultural institutions is a constitutional obligation."
Válasz
The constitutional interest in cross-border Hungarian communities is real. The instrument is the question. A four-year phase-out of the discretionary grant mechanism creates the space to negotiate bilateral cultural agreements, endow a cross-border Hungarian cultural foundation with a durable governance structure, or transfer the function to the EU minority-rights framework — instruments that are more durable than an annual budget line and less dependent on the political preferences of whoever controls the grant pool in Budapest.
Share if you think cross-border Hungarian communities deserve durable cultural agreements, not annual political grants.

The Nemzetpolitikai tevékenységek és határon túli magyarok támogatása line (4,333.3 millió Ft) is treated as a Phase-Out (4 years, linear): the national-policy transfer is discretionary external grant-making that phases out on the same logic as the other grant pools.
Átállási mechanizmus
Phase-Out over four years, linear. The national-policy transfer phases on the same logic as the other discretionary grant pools: the voluntary and market mechanisms for cultural and community support remain available.
