"Calls for Hungary's President to Resign Amid Sex Abuse Case Controversy"
TL;DR
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.
