The Hungarian government plans to reveal the names of thousands of informants from the communist era to address the past and rebuild public trust. Between 1945 and 1989, the communist security services relied on a vast network of informants to monitor society and suppress dissent. Many were coerced or promised benefits to report on others. For decades, the extent of this network remained hidden, with files largely inaccessible to the public. Prime Minister Péter Magyar pledged during his election campaign to make state security files public, a promise he is now fulfilling. A new law adopted in September allows for the release of these files, supported by a majority of the population. The publication was initially set for the anniversary of the 1956 anti-Soviet revolution but was postponed to November 4. The new online database will enhance transparency regarding the former state security service.
