Hundreds? I'm sure he'll step down right away...
depends what kind of hundreds. hundreds of peasants can be ignored.
hundreds of ministers cannot
hundreds of ~~ministers~~ oligarchs cannot
fixed that for you
@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.
Yeah the oligarchs around him would have to want him gone for him to go.
Big fucking orban moove!
Whaaat? Why did they do that? Was it someone with contacts or something? Are they stupid and don't know who they are pardoning?
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.
The original article contains 423 words, the summary contains 176 words. Saved 58%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Its so funny. Hes been a dictator for years and a child sex abuse thing happens and now everyone wants him to resign. The dictator part isnt the problem but one murky presidential pardon is.
