"Hungary's President Resigns Over Controversial Child Sex Abuse Case Pardon"

Hungarian President Katalin Novak resigns amid public outcry over her decision to pardon a man involved in a child sexual abuse case, which sparked protests in Budapest. Novak, a close ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, had pardoned the deputy director of a children's home who helped hide the crimes of the former director, who was convicted of sexually abusing underage boys. In her televised address, Novak apologized for her mistake and the lack of reasoning behind the pardon, acknowledging that it had raised doubts about the country's zero tolerance for pedophilia.
