"Orban's Vow: Overhauling Laws in Wake of Hungary's Child Abuse Scandal"

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has promised new laws in response to a child sexual abuse scandal that led to mass protests and several resignations, including that of President Katalin Novak. The scandal, involving the granting of clemency to a former official convicted of covering up sexual crimes at a state-run children's home, has become the biggest threat to Orban's conservative rule. Orban's government, known for its focus on family values, has been thrown on the defensive, and the prime minister's speech aimed to address the issue and improve child protection laws.
