The chairman of the national security committee has called an open meeting and mentioned an 'agent scandal'.

The Hungarian Parliament's National Security Committee will hold a public meeting regarding the agent scandal, as announced by István Apáti. The meeting aims to address concerns about agent files released on November 4, 2026, particularly involving the name of former MP Sándor Lezsák, mistakenly listed as an agent. The State Security Historical Archives acknowledged the error, which revealed around 160 names of monitored individuals instead of agents. The Fidesz party has labeled the incident a "clean agent scandal" and accused the government of attempting to tarnish Lezsák's reputation. Apáti's announcement follows demands from Fidesz's Gábor Szűcs for accountability regarding the public disclosure of agent files, emphasizing the serious implications of the error.
