According to Zoltán Tarr, it is important to understand that transforming a 16-20 year system is not a two-week job.

Zoltán Tarr, the Minister responsible for cultural affairs, emphasized the lengthy process of transforming Hungary's cultural system, seeking patience from the government. He responded to protests against the 2027 cultural budget, stating that the changes aim to eliminate politically influenced decision-making and support cultural organizations based on user decisions. While he acknowledged intentions for salary increases for cultural workers, he noted that the proposed raises do not meet the needs of underfunded institutions. Various cultural organizations issued a joint statement opposing the government's budget plan, arguing it fails to establish a new cultural policy and continues previous funding structures. They called for consultations involving cultural representatives to address funding issues and necessary modifications.
