Part I — Situation overview

The scandal around the National Cultural Fund (NKA) entered a new phase on 2 May 2026: Attila Vidnyánszky, director general of the National Theatre, and Miklós Both, musician, both resigned from membership of the NKA committee. Miklós Both, in his statement to 24.hu, said that “the trust and professional credibility of the committee was abused” — this phrasing lives among his colleagues as institutional catastrophe. Magyar Nemzet and Mandiner also reported Vidnyánszky’s resignation as a news-level item, which in a conservative media environment is a sensitive indicator of recognition of the topic. The two resignations directly continue the departures of László Baán (chair of the supervisory board) and Balázs Bús (vice-chair of the committee) discussed in the 1 May 2026 blog — within one week, four professionals, partly professionally legitimate and partly close to the government, parted with the NKA. The phenomenon is not a personnel conflict but a resignation domino effect.

The substantive escalation of the scandal is driven by three new facts. First: Áron Molnár, actor, made internal NKA correspondence public on 24.hu on 2 May 2026, documenting the informal channels of collegial decision-making — that is, the fact of unrecorded consultations running parallel to the official tender procedure. Second: Balázs Hankó, outgoing culture minister, in an ATV interview cited by Portfolio, declared that “cultural decisions are matters of taste” — that is, qualified the discretionary nature of the distribution of the 17-billion-forint frame as legitimate. Third: further grant-recipient names became public (according to ATV, Gabi Tóth, Enikő Muri and Attila Pataky may also have received serious sums), which makes the Hankó argument’s “taste-based” character also difficult to defend from a cultural-market angle. Telex’s Vera Tóth post framed the scandal as “artists supported by graft”, and Majka, cited by HVG, spoke of “kept fake artists” — that is, a defining part of the contemporary performing profession openly distanced itself from the current NKA committee practice.

The constitutional nature of the NKA committee is important: the NKA committee is not a court, but a public administration body — a professional decision-making collegium that reports to Bethlen Gábor Alapkezelő Zrt. (NKA’s financial host) and the cultural ministry. The State Audit Office (ÁSZ) is an oversight institution, not a prosecutor’s office: it can make findings, prepare reports, but cannot apply criminal sanctions — the latter is the competence of the prosecutor general and the courts. This precise separation of powers distinction matters because public discourse around the scandal tends to conflate audit-office oversight with criminal-law accountability. In MIAK’s reading, the Vidnyánszky-Both resignation domino, the Molnár leak and the Hankó “taste” argument together represent a system-critical point: the structural architecture of Hungarian culture financing — the parallel funding channels, the discretionary collegial decision, the absence of post-hoc audit — cannot be reformed by personnel changes alone, only by institutional transformation.

Part II — Literature foundation

The scandal cannot be interpreted in a domestic political frame alone: the structural risks of culture financing are well documented in international literature. Robert Klitgaard (American-Danish development economist, former president of the Pardee RAND Graduate School), in his classic Controlling Corruption (1988), gives the still most-cited formula for the systematic analysis of corruption: C = M + D − A, that is, the corruption risk equals monopoly plus discretion minus accountability. The 17-billion-forint frame shows exactly this faulty equilibrium: the NKA committee has a monopoly in the high-end segment of culture financing (M high), the Hankó argument’s “taste-based” discretion (D high), and the informal channels brought to light by the Molnár leak (A low) — a triply risky structure.

Susan Rose-Ackerman (Yale jurist-economist, one of the founders of the corruption literature in political economy), in Corruption and Government (1999), describes with the concept of selective state support those funding channels in which the selection of beneficiaries is made not by objective criteria, but by political-business proximity. The Hankó-style “matter of taste” argument is precisely the discursive legitimation of Rose-Ackerman’s selective favouring: if the decision on state support has no objectifiable measure, then political influence is structurally built into the system.

Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson (institutional economists; Acemoglu was one of the laureates of the 2024 Sveriges Riksbank Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics), in Why Nations Fail (2012), introduce the dichotomy of extractive and inclusive institutions. Extractive cultural institutions — those that serve the political co-optation of culture financing rather than the flourishing of the creative sector — are part of the extractive political-economic spiral: in the short term they stabilise power, in the long term they go at the expense of social innovation and trust.

The three authors together provide the theoretical frame: the NKA scandal is not a personnel error but a structural consequence in a system that does not respect the Klitgaard M-D-A equilibrium, allows Rose-Ackerman selective favouring, and conserves the Acemoglu-Robinson extractive cultural institutional architecture. The detailed literature treatment is contained in section 6.4 Literature details.

Part III — MIAK’s concrete proposal

MIAK proposes three measures, building on each other, to the new culture ministry and the leadership of the Tisza government. The proposals complement the longer-term structural reform package of the 1 May 2026 blog — the focus here is on the collegial jury system and the regulation of politically exposed persons (PEP), that is, on handling the concrete weak points identified following the discovery of the 17-billion-forint frame.

3.1 Immediate NKA committee revision for an item-by-item audit of the 17-billion-forint frame (within 30 days)

According to information made public by 444.hu and Telex, a 17 billion forint “concealed” cultural frame was operating within the NKA. MIAK proposes that the new culture ministry, within 30 days of taking office, initiate an item-by-item audit of the entire 17-billion-forint frame: (a) public disclosure of the per-beneficiary item list (who received how much, for what purpose, with what professional justification); (b) legality review — legal-financial scrutiny of every item over 50 million HUF; (c) mapping of parallel funding channels — based on information from the Molnár leak, identification of informal channels running parallel to the official tender procedure. The audit is commissioned by the culture ministry, executed by the State Audit Office (ÁSZ) and an independent audit firm — it is important that the audit office’s role is oversight, not punitive (legal sanctioning requires a separate prosecutorial/judicial path if a suspicion of crime arises). This 30-day “inventory phase” is a precondition for any further reform: the structure can only be transformed if the existing payment pattern is documented. (see 6.4.1 — in the Klitgaard framework, audit is the post-hoc strengthening of the A component.)

3.2 NKA grants system overhaul — blind collegial jury and 30-day publication deadline (within 90 days)

Within the 90-day timeframe, MIAK proposes the structural overhaul of the NKA grants system. The proposal contains: (1) blind collegial jury — the bidding committee members receive submitted grants in anonymised form (the applicant’s name, institution, prior NKA support history hidden), so that the decision can be based on substantive professional quality, not on the person of the applicant. This can be interpreted as direct operationalisation of KU5 (Cultural participation index and open culture financing) programme point. (2) Technical infrastructure for anonymised submission — the digital tender platform automatically removes identifier fields from the assessment view; integration of A1 (Public-funds dashboard) ensures public follow-up. (3) 30-day publication deadline — every grant decision and payment item is public on the public-funds dashboard within 30 days of the decision, together with the anonymised summary of the submitted application and the assessment rationale. (4) Removal of “taste-based” discretion — the Hankó-style “matter of taste” argument is explicitly excluded in the legislative text: the assessment criteria (professional standard, audience reach, innovation contribution, sustainability) are recorded as objective and verifiable measures. Rose-Ackerman selective favouring is thereby structurally hindered (see 6.4.2).

3.3 Exclusion of politically exposed persons (PEP) + retroactive audit obligation (within 180 days)

MIAK proposes that within 180 days the Tisza government introduce the politically exposed persons (PEP) exclusion rule for NKA grants. The PEP definition follows the anti-money-laundering (AML) regulatory tradition: persons holding active and retired government positions, parliamentary representatives, party officials, politically appointed institutional leaders and their direct family members fall into the category. The rule looks to the future: it applies to grants after entry into force, not as a retroactive criminal sanction — PEPs are excluded from future grants, while a retroactive audit obligation with a 4-year look-back window applies for the 2010-2025 period. This is the important legal-structural distinction: the legal fate of past payments is decided individually, in civil or criminal proceedings (based on a final court judgment), while future exclusion functions as an administrative rule. Monitoring is dual: on one hand, the State Audit Office (ÁSZ) annual report has a separate chapter on PEP share in NKA grants, and on the other hand, a public data API ensures independent observation by Transparency International and other civil organisations. The proposal is directly linked to A3 (Public asset declarations) and KI3 (Measurably reducing bureaucracy) programme points — the PEP rule is not new bureaucracy, but a structural filter. (see 6.4.3 — the Acemoglu-Robinson inclusive institutions framework.)

The three proposals are bound by a single principle: structural protection is more important than personnel change. The resignations of Vidnyánszky and Both Miklós, however attention-grabbing, do not in themselves solve the problem — whoever enters the old structure meets the same incentives. The blind collegial jury, the 30-day publication deadline and the PEP rule together structurally restore Klitgaard’s M-D-A equilibrium: monopoly is dissolved by transparency, discretion is reduced by blind assessment, and accountability is strengthened by the public dashboard and independent audit.

Part IV — Expected impacts and risks

Dimension Expected impact Risk
Culture The creative sector receives support according to professional-market criteria; the quality of Hungarian culture financing approaches the British Arts Council model; political noise is reduced. During the transition (12-24 months), the number of grant decisions may temporarily decrease — some legitimate professional projects may fall into a financing gap; a “bridge financing” mechanism is needed.
Public-funds use The item-by-item audit of the 17-billion-forint frame, the blind collegial jury and the PEP rule together can produce a 5-15% improvement in cost-effectiveness of the culture financing system (based on international precedents: Czech Státní fond kultury, British Arts Council). Audit capacity (State Audit Office, civil monitoring) cannot be increased instantly — shortage of experts, IT infrastructure need; the 30-day timeframe is tight, a 60-day transition is more realistic.
Political-legal MIAK creates a precedent: structural reform can work without retroactive criminal sanctions — future exclusion and retroactive audit (under final court judgment) is a rule-of-law solution that does not violate property rights. A “PEP rule as political purge” narrative may emerge — pro-government public discourse may attack the rule as a discriminatory measure. The legislative text must be precise and justified on the AML model.
Society Hungarian cultural public discourse may regain its professional legitimacy; the public statements of Zoltán Czutor, Áron Molnár, Vera Tóth and others “normalise” — the opinion of the creative profession enters financing decisions as substantive input. The “kept fake artists” type stigma (Majka) may spread to legitimate but NKA-supported artists too — the risk of professional stigmatisation is real, therefore MIAK emphasises: the structural reform is not the condemnation of persons, but system restoration.

The common element of the four dimensions: the risks of structural reform are manageable with transitional mechanisms (bridge financing, audit capacity expansion, legislative precision, communication discipline). The risk of NON-action is much greater: if the Tisza government, after the Vidnyánszky-Both resignation, only appoints a “new committee” without structural reform, the distortion of Klitgaard’s M-D-A equilibrium is conserved.

Part V — Measurability and summary

5.1 What is worth tracking? (proposed performance indicators — KPIs)

In one year (May 2027) it is recommended to look at four indicators:

  1. NKA grant assessment time: the average time elapsed between submission and decision. Target: reduction below 60 days (current estimate: 90-120 days, varying by collegium).
  2. Publication deadline compliance rate: the share of grant results made public within 30 days of the decision. Target: above 95% (currently estimated below 60%).
  3. PEP share among grant recipients: the share of grant applicants who are politically exposed persons (themselves or close family) of all supported applications. Target: below 2% (current share, based on data made public by ATV and 444.hu, may be around 15-20%).
  4. Number of independent audit reports: the number of independent (ÁSZ + civil + academic) audit reports prepared annually on NKA grants. Target: at least 2 public reports per year (currently the ÁSZ does not audit the NKA annually).

5.2 Summary

MIAK welcomes that the NKA scandal has come to public light — the resignations of Attila Vidnyánszky and Miklós Both, the prior departure of László Baán, the civil leak by Áron Molnár and the public statements of the contemporary performing profession (Zoltán Czutor, Vera Tóth, Majka) are one of the most valuable moments of the past decade’s Hungarian cultural transparency process. At the same time, MIAK asks that the Tisza government not stop at personnel changes: the Vidnyánszky-Both resignation domino leads to substantial improvement only if the structure is also transformed. The blind collegial jury, the 30-day publication deadline, the PEP rule and the item-by-item audit of the 17-billion-forint frame together operationalise MIAK’s two foundational values — transparency and accountability — in the cultural sector. The quality of Hungarian culture financing in the next decade does not depend on who sits in the collegium chair, but on whether the architecture of the financing system will be structurally controllable.

Part VI — Justifications and additional sources

6.1 Press framing across the spectrum

Liberal-left band (Telex, HVG, 24.hu, 444.hu, Népszava). Telex handled Vidnyánszky’s resignation at the level of a leading news item, with detailed background on the Hankó argument and the billion-forint money-distribution; the Vera Tóth post appeared as a separate article in the “artists supported by graft” frame. HVG ran the topic from four angles at once (Vidnyánszky resignation, Baán “they deceived NKA” interview, Miklós Both resignation, Hankó “matter of taste” interview) — editorial intensity is outstanding. 24.hu put Miklós Both’s “the trust and professional credibility were abused” quotation as the headline, and ran a separate article on Áron Molnár’s internal correspondence — that is, it independently documented the substantive escalation of the scandal. 444.hu used hard frame headlines (“Tens of millions of forints went to Fidesz representatives’ pre-election funfairs”), placing emphasis on the structural systemic problem; this is the continuation of section 6.1 of the 1 May 2026 blog. Népszava came out with a front-page-level news fallback — for capacity reasons, detailed treatment of the topic was not realised here, but topic touching is registered. The whole liberal-left band emphasises emotional-moral framing (“graft”, “kept fake artists”, “deception”) — the structural explanation is most consistent at 444.hu.

Public-affairs band (ATV). ATV handled Vidnyánszky’s resignation at leading news level, and gave a separate video report on the NKA grants of Gabi Tóth, Enikő Muri and Attila Pataky. The framing is matter-of-fact — comment-free, focused on facts. This is one of the few places in the Hungarian TV market where the scandal appears in factual rather than emotional framing.

Economic band (Portfolio). Portfolio brought the Hankó statement in a matter-of-fact, economic-perspective framing (“the outgoing minister has spoken about the accusations”). The financial-structural perspective (public-funds amount, efficiency, culture financing GDP share) remained in the background — this band did not place emphasis on the macroeconomic evaluation of the 17-billion-forint frame.

Conservative band (Magyar Nemzet, Mandiner). Both Magyar Nemzet and Mandiner gave news-level, comment-free coverage of Vidnyánszky’s resignation — this is an important shift compared to 1 May 2026: the 1 May Baán-Bús resignation was not yet covered by the conservative band as a separate article, while the 2 May Vidnyánszky departure was. This signals that the scandal “has reached” the pro-government media — the topic is acknowledged, even if its context is treated in restrained fashion. Mandiner did not run Miklós Both’s resignation as a separate article.

The structural frame already detailed in the 1 May 2026 blog (1 May 2026: NKA scandal — Hankó’s concealed 17 billion, Baán-Bús resignation) (Klitgaard C = M + D − A; Rose-Ackerman state capture; WGI Control of Corruption −0.17) is the basis of the present continuation — the present blog adds to this the concrete proposals on the Vidnyánszky-Both resignation domino, the Molnár leak, the Hankó “matter of taste” argument, and the blind collegial jury / PEP rule.

6.2 Facts and data

According to data made public by 444.hu, a 17 billion forint “concealed” cultural frame operated within the NKA. Among the public grant items:

  • R56 Budapest pub — 180 million HUF (444.hu, HVG): a pub qualified as a Fidesz propaganda-style institution.
  • Bayer Trianon Museum project — 150 million HUF (HVG): cultural-memorial project led by Zsolt Bayer.
  • Hungarian folk arrangement of the Champions League anthem — 17 million HUF (24.hu): occasional musical item.
  • Gabi Tóth, Enikő Muri, Attila Pataky — serious sums (ATV; precise amounts pending audit).

According to the KSH culture financing GDP share indicator, Hungarian state culture financing is around the EU average in GDP-share, so the structural faults are not related to the amount of resources, but to the distribution mechanism. According to the 2025 estimate of Transparency International Hungary, the transparency indicator of NKA grants (share of public decision-rationale, deadline compliance, PEP share) is in the weakest third of the EU-15. The State Audit Office (ÁSZ) NKA reports for 2018-2025 indicate system-level deficiencies — particularly in the area of parallel funding channels and documentation gaps in collegial decision-making.

Separation of powers clarification: the NKA committee is a public administration body (professional decision-making collegium), not a court; the ÁSZ is an oversight institution, not a prosecutor’s office; criminal liability requires a separate prosecutorial-judicial path if a suspicion of crime arises — this can be initiated by the prosecutor general, and the courts decide with final force. The MIAK 3.3 proposal explicitly gives the dual approach of future grant exclusion + retroactive audit obligation, not retroactive criminal sanction.

6.3 Policy aspects

The NKA scandal is not only a cultural matter — it touches several policy areas:

  • Culture: financing structure of the creative sector, professional-market legitimacy of Hungarian artistic life (KU3 — Support of creative industry, KU5 — Cultural participation index and open culture financing).
  • Transparency and anti-corruption policy: structural reform may serve as a model for other public foundations (model-change university foundations, sport funds) — (A1, A6, A10).
  • Public administration and e-government: technical infrastructure of the anonymised tender platform and the 30-day publication deadline (KI1, KI3).
  • Justice: asset-recovery proceedings (continuation of section 3.2 of the 1 May 2026 blog) based on a final court judgment (I3 — Judicial transparency in the absence: I3 fixed on the programme-point list as “Draft” status, directly linked content).

6.4 Literature details

6.4.1 Robert Klitgaard: Controlling Corruption

Robert Klitgaard is an American-Danish development economist, former president of the Pardee RAND Graduate School. His 1988 classic, Controlling Corruption (University of California Press), became the foundation of the systematic analysis of corruption. The most-cited formula: C = M + D − A, that is, the corruption risk equals monopoly plus discretion minus accountability. In Klitgaard’s formulation: “Illicit behavior flourishes when agents have monopoly power over clients, when agents have great discretion, and when accountability of agents to the principal is weak.”

The NKA committee system is risky in all three dimensions: (i) monopoly (M) — the NKA is the dominantly sole institution in the high-end segment of Hungarian culture financing; (ii) discretion (D) — Hankó’s “matter of taste” argument is precisely the legitimation of discretion; (iii) accountability (A) — the Molnár leak documented informal channels, that is, structured post-hoc performance measurement is missing. Klitgaard’s prescription rhymes precisely with MIAK’s 3.1-3.3 proposals: reduce the monopoly (blind collegial jury, elimination of parallel channels), clarify the discretion (objective assessment criteria), strengthen accountability (public dashboard, ÁSZ audit, PEP rule).

6.4.2 Susan Rose-Ackerman: Corruption and Government

Susan Rose-Ackerman is emerita professor of Yale Law School, one of the founders of the corruption literature in political economy. Her Corruption and Government: Causes, Consequences, and Reform (Cambridge University Press, 1999) is one of the most-cited foundational texts of 2000s corruption research. According to the concept of selective state support, state distribution mechanisms are particularly vulnerable to political co-optation if the selection of beneficiaries lacks objective, verifiable measures: “When governments distribute scarce benefits using opaque criteria, the result is not just inefficiency but a structural channel for political and personal favoritism.”

The Hankó argument that “cultural decisions are matters of taste” is precisely the domestic legitimation of this Rose-Ackerman pattern: by definition “taste” is a non-objectifiable measure, so the financing decision is structurally exposed to political-business proximity. MIAK’s 3.2 proposal (blind collegial jury, anonymised submission, objective assessment criteria) is the direct operationalisation of Rose-Ackerman’s diagnosis: if assessment is based on content and not on the submitter, the structural space for selective favouring is reduced.

6.4.3 Acemoglu-Robinson: Why Nations Fail

Daron Acemoglu (MIT) and James A. Robinson (University of Chicago Harris School) are institutional economists; Acemoglu was in 2024 — together with Simon Johnson and Robinson — one of the laureates of the Sveriges Riksbank Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, for their work on the relationship between institutions and long-term economic development. Their Why Nations Fail (2012; Hungarian edition: Miért buknak el a nemzetek, HVG Könyvek, 2013) introduces the dichotomy of inclusive and extractive institutions. Inclusive institutions — independent courts, transparent state distribution of funds, collegial decision-making based on professional criteria — are the conditions of long-term economic-social development; extractive institutions concentrate power in the short term, but in the long term deplete social innovation capacity.

In Acemoglu and Robinson’s explicit formulation: “Inclusive economic institutions create inclusive markets, which not only give people freedom to pursue the vocations in life that best suit their talents but also provide a level playing field that gives them the opportunity to do so.” The current construction of the NKA — the 17-billion-forint concealed frame, the Hankó-style “taste-based” discretion, the share of politically exposed beneficiaries — is precisely the pattern of an extractive cultural institution: distribution based on political-business proximity, instead of an equal playing field of the creative profession. MIAK’s 3.1-3.3 proposal is the concrete toolkit of the extractive → inclusive institutional transition in the cultural sector.

6.5 International comparison

The structural reform of culture financing has three important international references.

Poland — Cultural Promotion Fund (Fundusz Promocji Kultury) PEP rules. The regulation introduced under Donald Tusk’s post-2007 government explicitly excludes persons holding political office and their close family members from direct application. Monitoring is in the competence of NIK (Najwyższa Izba Kontroli — the Polish ÁSZ equivalent); transparency: every decision over 50 thousand zloty is public, the assessment rationale is mandatorily public. In the 2015-2023 PiS era the rule weakened, the 2024 Tusk return’s first measure was to tighten it.

Czechia Státní fond kultury — collegial jury system. The Czech state cultural fund operates on an arms-length principle: parliament decides only on the annual frame and strategic priorities, the concrete grant assessment is in the competence of independent professional collegiums. Collegium members are nominated by professional bodies (artistic associations, university departments), political influence is structurally restricted. One strength of the model is rotation: collegium membership is a maximum of 4 years, renewal possible only for one cycle — this prevents long-term interest consolidation.

France CNC (Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée) transparency. The French film and animation industry’s state support system is one of the world’s most elaborate arms-length constructions. CNC decisions are made by professional committees, the assessment rationale is public in every case (both successful and rejected applications), and the entire payment structure is available in quarterly reports. One important technical element of the model is blind assessment: individual professional committees receive a significant share of submissions in anonymised form.

The common element of the three models: (a) structural separation of professional bodies from political decision-making; (b) PEP exclusion for future grants; (c) blind or partially anonymised assessment; (d) public decision rationale with 30-day deadline. MIAK’s 3.1-3.3 proposal combines elements of these three models tailored to the Hungarian institutional environment.

Transparency and anti-corruption policy

  • A1 — Public-funds dashboard
  • A2 — Public procurement transparency
  • A3 — Public asset declarations
  • A6 — Strengthening checks and balances (ÁSZ role)
  • A10 — Independent Anti-Corruption Investigation Bureau (CPIB model)

Culture

  • KU3 — Support of creative industry
  • KU5 — Cultural participation index and open culture financing
  • KU6 — Community arts programmes in rural areas (instead of political-business proximity, territorial justice is the related dimension)

Justice

  • I1 — Judicial transparency (transparency of the judicial phase of asset-recovery proceedings)
  • I5 — Property rights protection (the 3.3 PEP rule fixes its future-exclusion character, not retroactive sanction)

Public administration and e-government

  • KI1 — One-stop digital administration (technical basis of the anonymised tender platform)
  • KI3 — Measurably reducing bureaucracy
  • KI8 — Drucker-style efficiency measurement in public administration (frame of the collegial jury KPI system)

Proposed new programme point: “Cultural funding committee integrity — blind collegial jury, PEP exclusion, 30-day publication deadline” — at the intersection of Culture and Transparency and anti-corruption policy areas. This programme point fits KU5, but is more concrete — it gives the operationalisation at the collegial committee level.
