In a dramatic turn of events, the President of Hungary, Katalin Novak, has announced her resignation live on television. This decision comes in the wake of a highly controversial move to grant a pardon to a man convicted of concealing a child sexual abuse case.
Last week, it came to light that President Novak had exercised her clemency powers to pardon an individual who had been serving a sentence for coercing children into retracting their sexual abuse allegations against a director of a state-run children's home.
The news of the pardon sparked widespread outrage in Hungary, leading to mounting protests demanding the president's resignation.
In response to the public outcry, President Novak publicly apologized and admitted that she had made a grave error in granting the pardon. She acknowledged the gravity of the situation and took responsibility for her actions.
In a related development, Judit Varga, the former Minister of Justice who had initially approved the pardon, has also resigned from her position as the leader of the European elections campaign for Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz party.
The series of events surrounding the child abuse pardon scandal has sent shockwaves throughout Hungary, revealing deep divisions and raising questions about the government's handling of such sensitive cases.
As the country adjusts to the aftermath of these resignations, the focus will now shift to the next steps in Hungary's political landscape and the efforts to address the concerns raised by the public regarding the handling of child abuse cases.
