Valóság-e a türelmi zóna, vagy csak egy újabb illúzió a hatalomgyakorlás eszköztárában Magyarországon?
Is the tolerance zone a reality in Hungary, or just an another illusion’s tool in the exercising of power?

Summary/Abstract: The focus of the study is the macro-level analysis of a multitude years social debate that draws attention to the misconduct of the Hungarian prostitution’s regulation, and to the shortcomings of the practicing of the constitutional and human rights. The marginalized groups (the prostitutes) excluded by society are forced to face not only the contempt of the community but also to the abuses of the ruling state power. The discrimination based on increasingly deeper legal and social inequalities drift the prostitutes in to the power center’s periphery. The particular image of oppression and resistance is reflected in the social environment, in official procedures, and in official actions too, but those are the mostly reflected in the anomalies of the public streets using by the prostitutes. The available empirical evidences suggest that the unjust exercise of power plays a dominant role in the process of exclusion and stigma. However, a resolution can only be given if the causes and circumstances of the prevailing social inequality will be explored by us, and then with the help of a critical analysis we look for alternative solutions. A discursive research method is used by the author to know better, and to understand the prostitution participants’ realities, and perspectives. In my view the objective use of the results obtained in a critical approach would serve such a basis for concluding a consensus, which (one-sidedly) changes the power abuses to state tolerance and community acceptance, and brings (other-sidely) the opportunities of lawful conduct practicing.
