Hungarian President Resigns After Granting Pardon to Man Linked to Child Abuse

The reason for the resignation of Hungarian President Katalin Novák has become clear. The resignation was prompted by the president's decision to grant a pardon to a man linked to sexual violence against children, Reuters reports.

This decision sparked large protests and public dissatisfaction. It is noted that she freed a man who had been convicted for sheltering a pedophile who was abusing children in a foster home.

Novák has admitted to making a mistake and has resigned from the presidency.
