egykormányzaton

Egykormányzaton refers to a system of government where a single entity, typically a political party or a dominant faction within a party, holds absolute power and control over all branches of government. This form of governance is characterized by the absence of meaningful opposition, independent judiciary, or free press, as these institutions are often suppressed or co-opted by the ruling power. In an egykormányzaton, decision-making is centralized, and dissent is discouraged or actively suppressed. The legitimacy of the government is often derived from a strong ideology, a charismatic leader, or claims of representing the will of the people, even in the absence of genuine democratic processes.

This system can manifest in various forms, ranging from one-party states where a single political party is legally permitted to rule, to situations where a dominant coalition or a single individual effectively controls the state apparatus, marginalizing or eliminating any competing political forces. The concentration of power in an egykormányzaton can lead to a lack of accountability, potential for corruption, and a disregard for individual rights and freedoms. While proponents might argue for efficiency and stability, critics often point to the erosion of democratic values and the potential for authoritarianism. The term itself, originating from Hungarian, literally translates to "one government," emphasizing the singular and undivided nature of its authority.
