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.

@0x815 Orban is a corrupt Russian Puppet. He has not a speck of morality. Hungary is not a Democracy; it is an Autocracy by Vote.
