  1. Before someone asks. The next one will be from fidesz also since the parliament elects the president.

    The current provisional president is László Kövér. According to the law the next president has to be elected within 30 days. Btw. the president has no real power here, just a paper signing machine.

  2. The then justice minister, Varga Judit, also resigned as an MP. She was meant to lead the Fidesz list at the EU elections

  3. so much for being against perverted west that you go free your pedo friend classic dogrban

  4. Does it affect Orban’s power/position somehow? Anything that decreases his influence is good.

    Asking as an outsider to Hungarian politics.

  5. I got excited for a second then realized that it wasn’t Orban

  6. To be absolutely clear: the guy defending the pedophile who received a pardon was friends with Orbán’s younger brother, they ran a wrestling club for kids. This presidental pardon was not her idea, but she will take the blame. There is only one leader in this country, Orbán, everyone else can be replaced in a week.

  7. Any Hungarians that know if the signing for Sweeden is affected? Like it needs the President or only parliment

    Edit:thanks all!

  8. During her interview she hinted with a half sentence that she’s never would have signed anything related to crimes against children knowingly.

    Now thisw either refers to the facts that shew was unaware of the details of the case and she was only said that the perp made the victims lying while testifing. OR…. She was ‘forced’ to sign anything which was put in front of her by the Orban-maffia.

  9. This is not the first time that Fidesz defends the perpetrator and not the victim in a case related to pedophilia. And I don’t think it’s the last.
    It was not Novák and Varga who made the decision in the case, but Orbán himself. K. Endre is connected to the Orbán family.

  10. She was a very convenient scapegoat, so the government made her the sacrifial lamb.

    Meanwhile nothing will change but the population is stupid enough to believe this resignation means anything at all.

  11. wait presidents resign over controversial pardons? Duda pardoned open neo-nazis, a person convicted of underage sexual abuse and his party friends and nothing happened lmao
