András Simonyi on the 6th card: The ministry's liaison was constantly on my back

András Simonyi, former ambassador, revealed his past involvement with the Ministry of Interior during a recent interview. He discovered he had a 6-os karton, indicating he was monitored due to his ties with the opposition while at university. Simonyi worked with the Democratic Youth Alliance, where he had a constant liaison from the Ministry, who pressured him for cooperation. He decided to cease this relationship in 1983, after which inquiries about the alliance increased. His file shows he was recruited as a network member in 1975 under the alias "Mészáros" and remained active until 1984. Simonyi later served as a political officer in the MSZMP's foreign department and as an ambassador from 1995 to 2007.
