Hungary to Open Communist-Era Secret Police Archives
Hungary's incoming government plans to open communist-era secret police archives. The initiative, highlighted by Balint Ruff, aims to enhance historical transparency. This development outlines a pro-European direction following Peter Magyar's electoral victory, addressing both EU funding and economic revitalization priorities. A new office will tackle corruption and oversee EU affairs.
Hungary's next government is set to unlock its communist-era secret police archives, as announced by Balint Ruff, the incoming chief of the prime minister's office.
Peter Magyar's Tisza party won the election on April 12, pushing a pro-European agenda, economic recovery, and the release of EU funds. Ruff has declared opening the archives his top priority.
This marks a shift for Hungary, which unlike its neighbors, has not publicized names of former collaborators. Ruff additionally plans to combat corruption and manage EU-related issues, ensuring close oversight by Magyar.
