A 2026-os költségvetés-elemzésből
3.6 milliárd Ft to preserve cultural assets — but which ones, for whom?
A capital conservation line with no itemisation of assets or recipients — frozen so that real-terms erosion reduces it while voluntary sources carry more of the load.
About 935 Ft per taxpayer per year — 3,641.8 millió Ft total; real-terms erosion at typical inflation reduces its share by roughly 20–25% over a decade.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: conservation work on a finite stock of existing heritage assets. The unseen: private owners and foundations whose property values rise with conservation, who are not required to contribute to a cost that mostly accrues to them, while the general taxpayer covers it instead.
Ellenvetés
"Letting inflation erode conservation budgets means heritage buildings deteriorate — the losses are irreversible."
Válasz
The freeze is on new tax-financed allocations, not on conservation itself. Owners of heritage property, and the foundations and trusts whose donors' contributions rise with a more vibrant heritage sector, have both the interest and the legal means to fund conservation. A nominal freeze creates the expectation that those sources carry more of the cost — which is the honest trajectory for a bounded custodial function over assets the public already holds.
Share if you think those who benefit from heritage conservation should pay more of its cost.

Indoklás
This line funds capital investment in cultural value-preservation — the conservation and restoration of heritage buildings and cultural assets. As with the heritage-protection line above, the conservation of heritage property is at the boundary of the frame: there is no rights-protection function and no constitutional precondition, and conservation has a genuine voluntary funding base, but the assets in question are a finite, already-existing stock whose loss would be irreversible. The line is held at its nominal level. A bounded conservation mandate over an existing stock of heritage assets is the kind of finite, self-limiting function the nominal freeze fits: real-terms erosion reduces the tax-financed share over a decade, and the conservation of privately-beneficial heritage property should over time draw more on the owners and foundations that the value accrues to.
Átállási mechanizmus
Hold at 3,641.8 millió Ft in nominal terms; real-terms erosion at ~2.5% inflation does the work.
Érintett csoportok
None directly. Conservation-investment recipients face a slowly eroding real allocation.
