Hungary’s President Katalin Novák and former Justice Minister Judit Varga stepped down over the weekend after revelations a man who covered up child sexual abuses had been pardoned by the state.
Endre K, a former deputy director of a state-run children’s home, was pardoned by President Novák last year ahead of a visit by Pope Francis. The pardon was made public earlier this February.
Its so funny. Hes been a dictator for years and a child sex abuse thing happens and now everyone wants him to resign. The dictator part isnt the problem but one murky presidential pardon is.
