This is the best summary I could come up with:

Hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets of Budapest calling on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to step down, after a presidential pardon in a child sexual abuse case sparked outrage across the country.

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.

An outspoken critic of Brussels, her downfall is seen as a setback to Orbán ahead of the ballot, where according to polls his party could increase its already impressive seat number from 13 to 14.

In a sign of potential unraveling within the ruling party, Péter Magyar, Varga's ex-husband and a close ally of the government, publicly denounced the country's political elite.

Orbán threatened to singlehandedly derail the EU's €50-billion aid package to Ukraine at a December summit, before rowing back on his threats in February.
