Hungary: Communist-era files released, up to 60k former agents revealed

Automated excerpt

Hungary's Prime Minister Peter Magyar ended this stall with a bill in September to grant unrestricted access for the public to the records for the first time. In total, estimates suggest 50,000 to 60,000 agent names were made public over all this document disclosure. The public has free access since Wednesday to this data via a search tool that can filter by birth data, by name, place and date of birth, as well as by code name, across all types of records that have been made public.
