Lezsák case: the director general of the ÁBTL will address whether to resign after correcting the database received from the intelligence service due to the error
The director of the Historical Archives of State Security, Cseh Gergő Bendegúz, is facing calls for resignation after a database error mistakenly included politician Sándor Lezsák's name among network agents. Bendegúz plans to apologize personally to Lezsák, who has vehemently denied any association with state security and is considering legal action. The error arose from a database received from the Constitutional Protection Office, which contained mixed data. The archives have since removed Lezsák's name and acknowledged that 163 other names may have been incorrectly listed. The incident raises concerns about the credibility of the released documents and has prompted political backlash, including demands for accountability from government officials.
