Absztrakt:
The regulation of the relationship between central and
local government in Hungary has undergone significant transformation in the last decade. The government has robust tools to
control local activities, just these tools are rarely applied by the
supervising authorities. The main transformation of this relationship can be observed in the field of public services. The formerly
municipality-based public service system was transformed into
a centrally organised and provided model, thus the role of local
governments in Hungary has decreased. The centralisation process was strengthened by reforms during the COVID-19 pandemic.
