Agent Files: Nagy Ervin says "there will be those in the art world that we didn't think of"

Hungary is set to release secret police files, revealing the involvement of numerous individuals, including public figures, in state surveillance. Officials emphasize the need for sensitivity and objectivity in handling the revelations, as many may face emotional reactions due to past traumas. The release is seen as a long-overdue step towards addressing historical grievances, with estimates suggesting that 60,000 to 150,000 names could be disclosed. The government urges the public to approach the findings with caution, ensuring that individuals are not unjustly vilified based on their past associations. The files will be opened in phases, starting November 4, with a second phase planned for February 2027.
