Hungary moves towards opening Communist spy files, 23 years on

Twenty-three years after the end of Communism in Hungary, the country has taken a tentative step towards opening the secret files of the era to the public, the last former East Bloc country to do so.
Justice minister Tibor Navracsics said in parliament that a new bill would cater for the creation of an Committee of National Memory, which would make it possible for individuals who were spied on or otherwise victimised by Communist informers or agents, will investigate these activities. Hirado.hu says the victims will have the choice of making the identities of those who informed or spied on them public.
