Hungary to publish 50,000 communist-era informant names; Orban reveals recruitment attempt

Hungary's government will release on Wednesday a list of over 50,000 informants of the communist-era political police (1945-1989), a move that could reshape political allegiances. One day prior, PM Viktor Orban disclosed that the secret services tried to recruit him during his military service, a first-person admission that may preempt scrutiny of his own past. The publication is likely to trigger political fallout, as it exposes individuals across the political spectrum, potentially destabilizing current alliances.
