Hungary to open Communist-era secret police informer files
Original: Hungary to open Communist-era informer files in reckoning with Cold War past
Hungary is moving to open the files of its Communist-era secret police, allowing public access to records of informers who worked for the regime during the Cold War. The move is framed as a reckoning with the country's authoritarian past and could expose the collaboration of public figures decades after the fall of communism.
Why now: A government decision to declassify sensitive Cold War-era informer files has drawn attention because it could reveal names of people still alive and prominent today.
