"Resignation of Hungarian President Novak Sparks Outcry Over Sex Abuse Pardon"

Hungarian President Katalin Novak, a close ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, resigned following outrage over a pardon granted to a man implicated in a child sexual abuse case. The controversy led to pressure from opposition politicians, protests, and the withdrawal of another Orban supporter, former justice minister Judit Varga, from public life. Novak acknowledged her mistake and apologized, while Orban announced plans to revise Hungary's constitution to exclude the possibility of pardoning paedophile criminals.

"Calls for Hungary's President to Resign Amid Sex Abuse Case Controversy"

Hungary's President Novak faces mounting pressure to resign over pardoning a deputy director of a children's home convicted of covering up for a sexual predator, despite her denial of pardoning a pedophile. In response, Prime Minister Orbán's Fidesz party has proposed a constitutional amendment to prevent future pardons from benefiting those convicted of crimes against children. Amid public outrage, Novak's early departure from a trip to Qatar has sparked speculation about the reasons behind it.
