Schiffer: The agent list is only good for public outrage – Hack: The files were opened too late and poorly.

After the regime change, SZDSZ championed the public disclosure of agent files. Péter Hack and Gábor Demszky proposed an agent law in 1990, which was rejected by the government majority. Hack criticized the late and inadequate uncovering of the state security past, arguing it should have been resolved in the early 1990s. He emphasized that the rights and interests of those affected were not sufficiently clarified. Hack suggested that living individuals should have been notified before public disclosure to allow for responses, as done by Sándor Lezsák, which could have revealed potential inaccuracies. Their proposal focused on a narrower group, specifically those required to take an oath before the National Assembly.
