Hungary’s communist secret‑police files go online – and a Fidesz MP is named by mistake (Day 178 of the Tisza government)

Following Hungary's recent elections, significant developments have emerged, including the dismissal of a director linked to the previous government and controversies surrounding secret-police files. Sándor Lezsák's name mistakenly appeared in state security documents, leading to political backlash and an apology from Prime Minister Péter Magyar. The Hungarian parliament has begun releasing files on individuals who collaborated with communist secret services, a move that comes decades after similar actions in neighboring countries. Notable figures, including public personalities and politicians, have been identified in these documents, sparking public interest and debate.
