The National Security Advisor in Hungary with Strengthened Powers

Changes in 2024 in the Political-Level Coordination Institutions of the National Security Administration

Abstract

The transformations started in the national security administration after the formation of the new Government in 2022 were completed by the spring of 2024. In political coordination, the prime minister’s national security adviser has more important responsibility than before. Recently, steps towards a cooperative model gradually appeared in the national security administration. The national security adviser with strengthened powers is the “political adoption” of the information management
with fusion approach introduced in the national security administration. As a result of this, divided political control will be mitigated, which can result in an increase in the efficiency of national security information. At the same time, parallelisms remain, due to which the management system cannot be considered fully convergent.
