Ferenc Szigeti: They tried to persuade me to do something, but it didn't work, and they never recruited me.

Szigeti Ferenc, leader of the Karthago band, revealed that he was approached by state security in 1988 but never cooperated. He was asked to persuade a colleague not to support the SZDSZ party during a concert. Szigeti declined to make the call, considering it not his responsibility. The encounter with the officer was polite, and after a brief follow-up, they parted ways without further contact. The state security service aimed to monitor and suppress internal opposition during the socialist regime in Hungary.
