Paul Lendvai: Trump's self-deception could backfire like a boomerang

Ruff Bálint's team is investigating both the Orbán era's corruption and opening socialist-era secret service files. The deputy prime minister distinguishes between the two periods but notes both manipulated historical facts. His campaign aims to create transparency to prevent future government abuses. Ruff's strategy includes public engagement and revealing questionable contracts from past administrations. As accountability efforts intensify, former aides of Viktor Orbán are also being scrutinized. Historians support the opening of archives to clear names unjustly accused, while Ruff emphasizes the need to confront Hungary's dark historical aspects for a healthier democracy.
