"Hungary's President Resigns Following Outcry Over Child Sexual Abuse Pardon"

Hungary's President Katalin Novak resigned over a child sexual abuse case pardon, following public outrage over her decision to pardon a man convicted of hiding a string of child sexual abuses in a state-run children’s home. Novak, a member of the ruling conservative party Fidesz and a key ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, admitted to making a mistake and causing bewilderment and unrest. Her resignation marks a rare episode of turmoil for the right-wing party, which has been accused of dismantling democratic institutions and rigging the media in its favor.
