AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Historical Reckoning: Hungary has opened searchable communist-era secret police files covering an estimated 50,000–60,000 people, marking 70 years since Soviet forces crushed the 1956 uprising. Officials urged families to approach the records with care; more files are due in February. Food & Drink: Three Hungarian restaurants have made the world’s Top 100 list. Arts & Culture: The Hungarian State Opera’s general director was dismissed after an investigation, as separate allegations of fear and humiliation at its ballet school draw attention. Lifestyle: Christmas Eve will become a public holiday in Hungary in 2026, while a new guide rounds up the country’s Christmas markets and their opening dates and programs.
