A 2026-os költségvetés-elemzésből
Cultural diplomacy abroad: a standing network, held at its current cost.
834 millió Ft for Hungarian cultural institutes abroad and cross-border cultural tasks — modest sums supporting an in-place network, frozen rather than cut, real-terms pressure applied gently.
Roughly 209 Ft per taxpayer per year — 834 millió Ft for the operating budgets of Hungary's network of cultural institutes abroad.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: Hungarian cultural institutes in foreign cities promoting language, culture, and artistic exchange. The unseen: the alternative — diaspora organisations, universities, and cultural bodies that conduct the same outreach voluntarily in many countries — that a state diplomatic cultural network partially substitutes for.
Ellenvetés
"Hungarian cultural presence abroad protects the language and community ties of Hungarians living outside the country."
Válasz
A nominal freeze does not dismantle the network — it holds the cost flat, allowing real-terms erosion to apply steady discipline while in-place commitments continue. Diaspora communities and cross-border cultural ties are also sustained by non-state organisations; this line is a complement to them, not a substitute.
Share if you think cultural diplomacy should earn its budget, not just hold it.

Indoklás
Operating budgets for the network of Hungarian cultural institutes abroad and related cross-border cultural tasks. Cultural diplomacy is a discretionary activity, not a rights-protection function, but these are modest sums supporting a standing institutional network; a nominal freeze applies real-terms discipline without disrupting in-place commitments.

Hold nominal.
