Protesters are pressuring Hungary's President Katalin Novak to resign after it was revealed
00:06
she pardoned a man convicted as an accomplice in a child sexual abuse case.
00:11
Novak pardoned the former deputy director of a state-run children's home last year.
00:16
The man was sentenced in 2018 to more than three years in prison for helping to cover
00:21
up the sexual abuse committed by the institution's director, who himself was sentenced to eight
00:26
years for his abuse of at least 10 children.
00:30
Viktor Orbán reported on Facebook in the afternoon that he had made a constitutional amendment
00:34
to the law, which he has since done, to prevent state-run pardon for children's cases of
00:38
abuse.
00:39
Novak Katalin was asked only one question so far, even at the beginning of the week
00:44
at a press conference, where she did not answer the question of why she had given
00:48
the pardon to Kándri.
00:49
The pardon of the President of the Republic should have been registered by the then
00:53
Minister of Justice.
00:54
This post was filled in by Judit Varga at the time of the decision brought in the Bicske
00:58
case.
00:59
On the day of the decision, Novak Katalin is not in the country.
01:02
On Facebook, pictures posted from the waterfront in Doha were published on Friday.
