The Tisza Party has initiated internal restructuring and policy reforms aimed at increasing transparency and democratic participation. Following recent elections, party leaders addressed concerns regarding the Tisza Szigetek, a network of community organizations. Vice President Márk Radnai proposed a new structure to allow these groups to maintain independence while participating in party affairs through a “bottom-up approach” rather than a top-down system. In terms of governance, the Tisza Party government announced plans to reform the distribution of subsidies for citizens living abroad. State Secretary György Heidl announced that the Bethlen Gábor Fund's database would be made public to move away from what he described as a “feudal system” of discretionary grants. Additionally, efforts have been directed toward asset recovery through the proposed National Asset Recovery and Asset Protection Office (NVVH), with suggestions that the burden of proof should shift to individuals in certain suspicious cases. Recent scrutiny has emerged regarding the administration’s effectiveness and accountability. Critics have noted that many ministerial appointments under Péter Magyar consist of party lawyers rather than experienced civil servants; of sixteen ministries, only five have appointed state secretaries with significant administrative experience. Furthermore, the success of the current political cycle is increasingly tied to the performance of the NVVH. Gábor Török has warned that if the office fails to deliver results regarding accountability for the previous administration, the fundamental purpose of the current mandate may be called into question. Internal tensions have recently surfaced regarding personnel decisions, with criticisms focusing on personal appointments rather than policy. While the election of András Baka as presidential candidate settled previous friction caused by a lack of consultation, the appointment of Anna Unger to lead the National Asset Protection and Recovery Office has sparked significant debate.
