PoliticsHungary releases secret police files 47 years after communism fell

Hungary has opened communist-era secret police records to the public. Prime Minister Péter Magyar said the release fulfils a campaign promise and could help society heal, while critics say it is late, incomplete and risks misleading people, deepening divisions and causing anguish for families. The first release covers about 60,000 recruits; further files are due in February.
