Katalin Karikó, György Nógrádi, István Csurka – we have found the cards of previously known stories

Recently released documents reveal the past connections of several public figures to Hungary's secret police before the regime change. Notable individuals include Nobel laureate Katalin Karikó, who was recruited by the socialist intelligence service in 1978, and security expert György Nógrádi, who was also listed as an agent. Other figures like Balázs Csongor and József Torgyán have similar histories, with Torgyán denying his involvement despite evidence. István Csurka, a founding member of the MDF, was also linked to the secret police but claimed he never reported on anyone. These revelations have reignited discussions about the past roles of these individuals in Hungary's political landscape.
