Gergely Karácsony on the agent files: The confrontation will be shocking for many families

Gergely Karácsony, the mayor of Budapest, commented on the public release of agent files, emphasizing that the nation can only reconcile with itself through the acceptance of truth. A new search interface has been created by the Historical Archives of State Security Services, allowing searches by names, aliases, and other identifiers. Karácsony acknowledged the emotional impact this revelation may have on many families, highlighting the complexities of victim and perpetrator roles in a dictatorship. He also paid tribute to the late János Kenedi, a key figure in the democratic opposition, who fought for the right to information. After 36 years, these documents will shed light on the communist regime's reporting network.
