The report details political repressions and prosecutions to which every group has been submitted: the churches, the professions, especially medical and legal, the artists, the workers, the trade unionists, the farmers. The Catholic Seminary in Budapest and most of the seminaries in Hungary have been closed, and in the remainder, compulsory courses in Marxist philosophy and economic theory as well as the atheism have been instituted. A purge of the artistic professions continues and all nominations of producers, directors and other theater personnel will have to be made by the Ministry of Culture.
