Hungary's conservative President Katalin Novak resigned amid public outrage over a controversial pardon she granted to a man convicted in a child sexual abuse case. Novak's decision to step down came after widespread criticism and protests following revelations of the pardon issued in April 2023. The move sparked an unprecedented political scandal for the long-standing nationalist government led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party. Novak, a key ally of Orban, acknowledged her mistake and apologized, becoming the first female president in Hungary's history to resign from office.
