In Hungary, a significant political scandal has erupted following President Katalin Novak's resignation due to her pardoning of a man involved in a child sexual abuse case. This event has led to a rare political crisis for Prime Minister Viktor Orban's long-serving government, known for its 'family values' platform. The pardon, which involved a man who helped cover up sexual abuse in a children's home, has sparked widespread public anger and protests. Tens of thousands of Hungarians have taken to the streets in Budapest, specifically at Hero Square, marking the biggest rally against Orban's government in years. The protests, organized by content creators and artists, have drawn more than 50,000 people, signaling a significant challenge to Orban's leadership since his return to power in 2010. Protesters at Hero Square expressed their discontent with chants of 'Fuck you Orban, fuck you Putin' and displayed banners with hashtags such as #freehungary and #pedoFidesz.
