PM Orbán named one of his former deputy state secretaries to head Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority which is important in light of Paks upgrade project.
Outsourcing the state’s responsibilities
As a first step following the law’s adoption, 32 public interest asset management foundations that will be carrying out public functions will be able to begin operations.
In addition to institutions of higher education, foundations will gain possession of mansions, resorts, ports, parks, estates, a theatre, clinics, and shares in a series of companies.
The foundation-based structure outsources activities related to education, culture, healthcare, agriculture, and memory politics away from the state.
The main point of the move is that the state assets handed over to these foundations will no longer strictly be considered public capital. Instead, trustees appointed by the current government will administer the funds and also receive founder rights.
