Hungary opens files: Was Viktor Orbán also a State Security agent?

Former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has revealed that the secret services of the communist regime in Hungary tried to recruit him as an informant while he was doing his mandatory military service. His statement has brought the politician's past into the spotlight and reignited the debate over communist-era intelligence files, which have not yet been made public.

Orbán has said that an attempt was made to include him in the informant network during his first period of military service, but that he refused the offer. According to him, this refusal was followed by a long period of surveillance by the communist authorities, which was not limited to him, but also included his wife and other opposition figures.

“During the first period of my compulsory military service, they tried to recruit me, but I refused, so the attempt ended in failure,” Orbán wrote.

The former prime minister claims that the secret operations of the security services against him and his associates included constant surveillance, the use of informants and the placement of listening devices in their workplaces and homes. According to him, such devices were allegedly installed even in bedrooms.

Orbán's statements come at a time when suspicions and speculation about his possible ties to the state security apparatus during communism have returned to the media spotlight.

Investigative journalist Szabolcs Panyi recently stated, during a podcast, that former Hungarian Prime Minister Miklós Németh had told him that he had seen three intelligence reports, written and signed by hand, which were allegedly drafted by Orbán.

According to the allegations, Németh had recognized Orbán's handwriting and signature on these documents, although he had not been able to independently verify their authenticity.

On the other hand, historian Krisztián Ungváry, part of a commission examining classified documents, has called for caution in handling these allegations. He stressed that the presumption of innocence should apply to everyone and that allegations of collaboration with secret services must be based on concrete evidence.

Ungváry revealed that even after Orbán's military service ended, he himself was targeted by state services for surveillance. The historian acknowledged that the possibility that the politician had carried out intelligence duties before his release from the army cannot be ruled out, but stressed that this has not been proven so far.
