The lights need to be turned on in rooms where darkness has been natural until now for the change of regime.

Feledy Botond was dismissed from his position at the foreign affairs institute, coinciding with the release of agent files that had been withheld for 36 years. This timing raises questions about the implications of past affiliations for public figures in Hungary. The government has made available online searchable databases of former state security records, addressing a long-standing issue of transparency regarding individuals in influential roles. The release coincided with the anniversary of the 1956 revolution, highlighting the historical context of these revelations. Botond's dismissal was reportedly linked to his previous collaboration with the former government, reflecting ongoing political tensions.
