Hungary's president has resigned amid outrage over her pardoning of a man convicted in a child sexual abuse case.

President Katalin Novak has faced days of growing pressure to resign because of her controversial decision to pardon a man who was convicted of covering up crimes committed by a sexual predator at a children’s home.

The 46-year-old announced in a televised message on Saturday that she would step down from the presidency, an office she has held since 2022. 

 

“I issued a pardon that caused bewilderment and unrest for many people,” Novák said on Saturday. “I made a mistake.”

Novak - the first female president in Hungary's history - had unleashed a political scandal unprecedented for the country's long-serving nationalist government.

I peed and then I saw that it's not Orban. Are they all like that there?

Hungary is parliamentary republic, so basically prime minister is holding absolute power over president :gaycat2:

This could have bad consequences as they will most likely blame it on LGBTQ. There could be another “child protection law” on the way targeting the LGBTQ community in Hungary…

This stupid ******* ***** broke the glass ceiling in her country and immediately repaired it gorilla glass laced with nano fibers. This scandal all but ensures all sorts of conversations on women leading sovereign states over a pardon that should have NEVER happened. 
 

sorry to the victims and the man who covered it up didn’t deserve or need a pardon
