Hungary to open Communist-era informer files
Original: Hungary to open Communist-era informer files in reckoning with Cold War past
Hungary has announced it will open secret police files from the Communist era, allowing public access to documents on state informers and surveillance from the Cold War period. The move is framed as a reckoning with the country's authoritarian past, decades after the fall of communism, and is likely to reveal the identities of collaborators and shed light on how ordinary citizens were monitored.
Why now: Opening decades-old secret police archives raises questions about past collaborators and remains politically sensitive in Hungary today.
