The Government of Hungary plans to pass a law allowing for the removal and destruction of original archival documents recounting the history of the communist secret police during the previous regime, as officials believe that these papers are the "immoral documents of an immoral regime." These archival documents are irreplaceable and once they are destroyed, Hungarian historians will no longer be able to uncover the activities of state security agents during the communist regime. I support the preservation of Hungary's historical record, access to historians, researchers, students and future generations and I do not believe that government officials have the right to destroy archival documents that they deem to be "immoral."

WHY ARE THEY SO AFRAID OF THE TRUTH? This is our history and nobody has the right to burn it just because they dont like it.

If we bury the past we are doomed to repeat it. Keep the archives open so we know who did what.

Very sad to see this happening in my country again. We need to see the documents to understand what really happened back then.
