"I don't want to make excuses, I am terribly angry at my former self" – János Gyurgyák admitted that he was recruited.

Historian János Gyurgyák acknowledged his recruitment by state security but claimed he did not report anyone. He was excluded from the network in 1978 for sabotage. Gyurgyák expressed regret for not rejecting the recruitment outright, criticizing the current handling of the issue. The Historical Archives of State Security Services launched a searchable database of former agents, revealing names like Miklós Patyi and György Nógárdi. Former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán also stated he was approached for recruitment during his military service in the 1980s but declined.
