A 2026-os költségvetés-elemzésből
1.2 milliárd Ft for 'other sectoral tasks' — no programme, no mandate
An undifferentiated residual line at ministerial discretion with no named programme, no statutory basis, and no public accountability for who receives it.
Roughly 301 Ft per taxpayer per year — 1,203 millió Ft total for a line whose name is 'other' and whose content is whatever the ministry decides in the year.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: whatever sectoral recipients the ministry allocated the line to in the current budget year. The unseen: the absence of any public process by which the rest of the taxpaying population could know who received the allocation or on what basis.
Ellenvetés
"Ministries need operational flexibility — a residual line covers genuine needs that don't fit named programmes."
Válasz
A residual line with no mandate and no programme definition is not operational flexibility — it is a blank cheque. Where a genuine function hides inside it, that function can be named, given a statutory basis, and funded through its own line subject to the normal scrutiny a named programme line receives. A line called 'other' that persists because it is convenient is the signature of subjective allocation.
Share if you think every public spending line should have a named purpose and a named recipient process.

Indoklás
An undifferentiated residual chapter-managed line for "other sectoral tasks" — a discretionary allocation with no defined mandate, no named programme, and no protected counterparties. A budget line whose name is "other" and whose content is at the ministry's discretion is the signature form of subjective allocation by political officeholders. Eliminate; where a genuine statutory function hides inside it, that function can be identified, named, and funded explicitly through its own line.
Átállási mechanizmus
Eliminate in the 2026 budget cycle.
Érintett csoportok
Recipients of discretionary "other" allocations — no protected reliance.
