Hungary's government is scheduled to publish the identities of tens of thousands of state informants from the communist period on Wednesday. The initiative aims to address the historical legacy of the era and restore public confidence.
Throughout the period from 1945 to 1989, the nation's communist state security apparatus maintained a vast network of secret agents to survey the population and crush political opposition. While some individuals agreed to spy in exchange for perks, others faced threats or coercion, leading them to inform on friends, neighbors, colleagues, and relatives.
Additional information is anticipated to emerge as this developing story continues to unfold.
