Gábor Török on the agent files: The haste, the half-work, the dosage, and the mistake can kill trust
A technical error led to the name of Sándor Lezsák appearing in the agent files as a network person, according to the State Security Services Historical Archives. The institution issued a statement following media reports about the former politician's name being listed on an open database. Lezsák denied being an agent, claiming he was merely monitored. Political analyst Gábor Török emphasized the importance of transparency in historical research, warning that mishandling such disclosures can undermine public trust. The Archives apologized to Lezsák and stated that they are investigating the error and reviewing the affected database section to prevent future occurrences.
