The president of Hungary, Katalin Novak, resigns after pardoning the director of a children's home who tried to hide cases of pedophilia. "I ask for forgiveness from those whom I have hurt.
I resign from my position," Novák said in a televised speech, after returning early from a visit to Qatar. The head of state, a former Minister of Family Affairs, acknowledged having "made a mistake" by pardoning a deputy director of the home, whose manager abused several minors for years.
