Tanács argued that making the documents accessible would allow Hungarian society to learn about and confront an important part of its past. In his political assessment, he blamed Fidesz for the files not having been made public earlier.
He claimed that the party had for years helped prevent Hungarians from gaining access to these records. Tanács also said Fidesz had previously had every opportunity to uncover the past but had failed to do so.
Writing about the debate in Hungary’s National Assembly, he described Fidesz and the Mi Hazánk party as the “loudest” voices on the publication of the files. His post of 10 November sets out his political position on the opening of the records and the role of the two opposition parties.
