A newly opened database has revealed that prominent historical figures were agents for the communist-era state security network, with codenames ranging from "Adidas" to "Motörhead." Among those named were "Rambó," Bálint Hóman, and even the "Summus Pontifex." This development provides concrete details in the ongoing public access to communist-era secret agent files. In other political news, a state secretary and four deputy state secretaries have resigned, with these personnel changes affecting two ministries and reportedly linked to Prime Minister Péter Magyar. Meanwhile, the opposition Fidesz party, led by Viktor Orbán and Tibor Navracsics, has unexpectedly become a strong advocate for local governments, preparing a parliamentary resolution proposal to strengthen their financial system. Separately, an interview highlighted that Hungary's electricity system would be unable to meet domestic demand for 15-20% of the day without imports. Also, Kubatov Gábor, President of Ferencvárosi TC, condemned fascist salutes and other offensive behavior by some Ferencváros fans during a match in Milan.
