The understanding of the agent files was only partially successful, and the politics are also to blame

The Tisza government has made the state security files public, aiming to address a long-standing issue in Hungarian politics. However, the release has not clarified who the actual informants were, as many documents are missing and the information is incomplete. The public can search for names on a dedicated website, but the presence of a name does not confirm that the individual reported to the authorities. The more detailed recruitment files will only be released later, limiting the understanding of individuals' roles. This situation has led to confusion and skepticism about the reliability of the released information, especially after a data entry error involving a former politician. The decision to stagger the release of documents has raised questions about transparency and accountability.
