Hungary: Orban promises new laws after child abuse scandal after protests
BBC ^ | 2/16/224 | Nick Thorpe

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has promised a new package of laws in response to a child sexual abuse scandal that has shocked the nation. Mass protests were held after it was revealed that a former official, convicted of covering up sexual crimes at a state-run children's home, had been granted clemency.

Mr Orban said there was no room for clemency in child abuse cases. There have been several resignations over the controversial pardon.

President Katalin Novak, who granted the pardon, and two senior figures in Mr Orban's ruling Fidesz party stepped down last week.

His government has made family values a core theme of its policies, so for the past week it has been thrown on the defensive.

The prime minister delivered his annual state of the nation address Saturday, in which he cut to the core of the issue.

Good people can make bad decisions, he said, promising to prepare a new package of laws to improve child protection.

So, you're attacking the most conservative Prime Minister in Europe now.

I'd expect nothing less from you.

Pardoning pedos is not conservative.

“Scott Ritter was unavailable for comment.”

You guys may not be familiar, but here in the US there’s quite a bit of ‘information’ going around about President Biden (Ukraine’s Number 1 Cheerleader, by the way) showing with his young daughter, and plenty of videos of Biden getting quite ‘handsy’ with other little girls.

Good to see that word gets on Biden. So we have two pedos now, one who supports and funds the Neocon War in Ukraine, the other who is against their war.

...sounds like things cancel out a bit.

1 pedo + 1 pedo = 2 pedos.

Let's see how much mileage that marcus the troll gets out of this Orban thing.

He's typing one-handed right now, watching the responses.

THANK GOD that the FR administration took the number of thread views off the display years ago.

marcusmaxitroll is just trolling - he does it for the responses and for the dopamine rush as people respond to his troll one-liners.

I think the fact that he’s now going after Hungary pretty much CEMENTS the purpose for him being here.

He knows he’ll get a rise out of both sides, and promoting globohomo for the FR neoconneds is a safe bet, for now.
