János Gyurgyák spoke out after it was revealed that he had been recruited

Gyurgyák János, a historian, was listed in the archives of Hungary's state security services, confirming he was recruited but did not report anyone. He sabotaged the cooperation and was expelled from the network in 1978. His involvement as a secret agent under the alias "Dorogi" lasted less than two years. Gyurgyák, a significant figure in the early Hungarian opposition and a close associate of Viktor Orbán, expressed regret over his past and criticized the government's handling of the disclosure of former agents. The list also includes various public figures, but the documents may contain inaccuracies and lack context regarding their recruitment.
