Hungary has published communist-era secret police files, identifying tens of thousands of people who worked as informants for the former regime. The declassification was spearheaded by Prime Minister Peter Magyar and is being framed as a long-delayed reckoning with the country's repressive past, decades after the fall of communism. The move is expected to stir debate over the named individuals and Hungary's handling of its socialist-era history.
Why now: The release exposes tens of thousands of former informants, touching prominent figures and reopening debate over Hungary's communist past.
