In common parlance, that's called corruption.
Interesting that you think this is corruption or favours are being offered up. I wonder how you'll react when confronted by some real corruption.
Corruption like Orbán stealing my taxes to fund a palace for himself? This is the most smug, privileged thing I've read in a while. If you're fine with corruption, say it loud and proud.
Definitely is an embodiment of class/accent/skin colour privilege.
It's funny you say this because, at least from what I've seen, groups that are historically discriminated against seem to be receiving more latitude in skirting the law.
What did I miss in the GP comment that points to the decisions being made on class, accent, or skin color?

No, it's just good old corruption and/or nepotism.
