After thirty-six years of sneaking around, this is what it came to

The newly launched open database on state security files in Hungary reveals a mix of known and unknown agents, but many significant names are missing. The government promised transparency after years of secrecy, yet the database only includes a fraction of the estimated 160,000 agents. Notably, documents related to well-documented figures like Mátyás Esterházy are absent due to their sensitive nature. Errors have also emerged, such as the inclusion of politician Sándor Lezsák, who was misclassified as an informant. The incomplete nature of the database raises questions about the reliability of the findings and the extent of the information available to the public.
