The revelation of an amnesty in a child abuse case weakens the power of the powerful Hungarian Prime Minister.
In Hungary, demonstrators demanded the resignation of Viktor Orban on Wednesday evening!
It is the most important crisis facing the Prime Ministerunshakable since 2010.
It all started in April 2023, when Hungarian President Katalin Novak granted an amnesty in a child crime case: the vice-director of a children’s home, sentenced to more than three years in prison for covering up the crimes of his superior, was pardoned by the head of state, at the request of the Calvinist Church.
When the affair was revealed, the president, close to Viktor Orban, had to resign, under pressure from public opinion. The former Minister of Justice, who signed the document amnestying the vice-director, withdrew from political life, although she was to lead the Fidezs list for the European elections in June.
The affair could have repercussions on the Prime Minister, since it highlights the excesses of Hungarian power. Fidezs emphasizes the importance of family and traditional values in his speeches.
