SHOCK: Conservative Hungarian President Novak Resigns on Live TV for Pardoning Man Convicted of Covering Child Sexual Abuse Cases
Unlike some liberal European governments that live from crisis to crisis, conservative Hungary very rarely is in the headlines for scandals in its administration.
So it was shocking to hear of the damning accusations against President Katalin Novak, and it was surprising to know of her resignation on live TV.
BBC reported:
“The president of Hungary has resigned live on television over a decision to pardon a man convicted of covering up a child sexual abuse case. It was revealed last week President Novak had given clemency to a man jailed for forcing children to retract sexual abuse claims against a director of a state-run children’s home.”
Calls for her to step down had been growing in Hungary.
