"Technical error" in Hungary. Former deputy speaker appeared as a communist agent

A database revealing past collaborators of Hungary's communist secret services was published, leading to controversy when Sandor Lezsak's name appeared as an agent. Lezsak, a former deputy speaker and Fidesz member, denied being an agent, claiming he was monitored instead. The government attributed the error to a technical mistake, with Prime Minister Peter Magyar apologizing. The Hungarian Historical Archives of Security Services confirmed the mistake, stating Lezsak was incorrectly listed. Opposition leaders demanded the database be taken offline and called for the resignation of the culture minister. Lezsak's family plans to pursue legal action against the archives.
