István Verebes: I don't need a sixth carton to determine whether someone is a bad person or not

István Verebes, an actor and director, shared his thoughts on the opening of agent files in a podcast, revealing that his father's name is among those listed. He expressed regret over the timing of the release, stating that while he initially supported the idea, he now feels it may not have been the right moment. The revelation of names has caused distress, leading him to reach out to some individuals out of concern for their well-being. He emphasized that being listed does not reflect the complete truth about a person. The discussion also touched on the societal implications of these disclosures, particularly given the current climate in Hungary. Following the opening of the files, many individuals discovered connections to known figures, prompting further inquiries into the past of those involved. Vörös Géza, head of the archival department, was consulted about the implications of this mass interest in historical secrets.
