Michel Varga (born Balázs Nagy; June 23, 1927 – August 23, 2015[1][2]) was a Hungarian and French Trotskyist activist.
The group, while influential, attempted to quell the Hungarian Revolution, fearing a violent backlash.
[3] Following the defeat of the revolution, Varga escaped to Austria, then settled in Paris, where, following discussions with Pierre Broué, he became a Trotskyist and founded the League of Revolutionary Socialists of Hungary with other exiles.
[4] In 1972, the OCI decided to leave the ICFI and instead set up the Organising Committee for the Reconstruction of the Fourth International.
The OCI claimed that he had been both a CIA and a KGB agent, but an international committee consisting of representatives from Lutte Ouvrière, the Ligue Communiste Revolutionnaire, the Socialist Workers Party (US) and the International Spartacist Tendency found no proof of this.
