Péter Magyar: We must ask questions, not judge – the database of agent files has opened

Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced the launch of an online database for communist state security documents, making them accessible to the public. This initiative aims to address a long-standing issue since the regime change, as previous governments failed to fully disclose these records. The new law allows access to various documents, including personal data of informants and operational records. However, Magyar cautioned against hasty judgments, emphasizing the potential emotional impact on families confronting painful histories. He criticized past governments for neglecting this issue and highlighted the importance of dialogue over judgment as society processes these revelations.
