Hungary’s President Katalin Novák and former Justice Minister Judit Varga stepped down over the weekend after revelations a man who covered up child sexual abuses had been pardoned by the state.
Endre K, a former deputy director of a state-run children’s home, was pardoned by President Novák last year ahead of a visit by Pope Francis. The pardon was made public earlier this February.
Whaaat? Why did they do that? Was it someone with contacts or something? Are they stupid and don’t know who they are pardoning?
