György Surányi: They attempted to recruit me, but I immediately refused.

On November 4, the Tisza government began making agent files public, revealing names linked to intelligence services. Surányi György, former head of the Hungarian National Bank, was mentioned in the database under the alias "Otto". He expressed shock at being listed, asserting he was never part of any network and had no operational reports. Surányi speculated his name might stem from a failed recruitment attempt in 1986 when he refused to cooperate with the political police. He informed his superior about the pressure he faced, which led to the cessation of recruitment efforts against him. Surányi requested that the historical archives clarify the circumstances surrounding his name.
