Letter of András Hegedüs, Lajos Ács, and József Mekis to Imre Nagy

The politically re-enforced Mátyás Rákosi wanted to close out Nagy Imre from the Hungarian Workers’ Party, due to Nagy’s aims to further democratize the government. Imre Nagy in his letter, in December 1954, maintained his earlier opinion, but justified his absence from the meeting of the Political Committee on grounds of his illness. In March 1955, the political attack against Imre Nagy continued, and on March 4, the Central Committee called him for self-criticism.
