Hungarian President Katalin Novak resigned after facing pressure for pardoning a man involved in covering up sexual abuse in a children's home, admitting to making a mistake in granting the pardon. This move comes amidst mounting political damage, with opposition parties demanding her resignation and Prime Minister Viktor Orban submitting a constitutional amendment to deprive the president of the right to pardon crimes against children.
