Hungarian society does not want witch hunts

The Hungarian public is divided on the issue of lustration following the recent elections. While some support the removal of officials linked to the previous regime, others emphasize the need for experienced personnel in government roles. A study revealed that moral and legal accountability significantly influences public opinion on whether individuals should be barred from public office. The findings indicate that a substantial portion of the population believes merely serving in the Orbán regime warrants dismissal, although this view is not universally held. The debate continues on how to balance accountability with the necessity of experienced officials in governance.
