  Such a truly bizarre crime for a president to pardon…

  Just instant career suicide.

    Polish president did that just before his reelection. The pedophile was out of prison already, the pardon was to remove the restraining order, because the offender lives with his victim anyway. President was presented with a negative opinion from a psychologist for that pardon.

    His voters did not care, they perceived him as the family-values candidate because he said LGBT are not people. The church helped him a lot.

    It sounds like she did it as a “favor” to the pope, very weird.

    The controversy was sparked by the pardon given last April, amid a visit by Pope Francis to Budapest, to a former deputy director of a children’s home who helped to cover up his boss sexually abusing kids and adolescents there.

      I also heard that the boss was a frequent visitor to Felcsút, Viktor Orbán's hometown.

  They were the last to deny Sweden’s accession to NATO … is there some connections here ?

  Weirdest thing is, some Fidesz fans try to smear the opposition for this event, by inventing all sorts of crazy conspiracy theories.

    Is the “joke” that she pardoned a sexual crime so you are sexually objectifying her? Like if I man said catcalling women should be flattering so you followed him around calling him “sweet chonky sugar dick”?

      Something like that but even I have to admit it wasn’t well executed, so I’ll just delete it lol. This is what I get for browsing right after waking up.
