Pedophilia scandal in Hungary: opposition party writes to Pope over presidential pardon
The presidential pardon granted to the paedophile accomplice has aroused a lot of strong emotions in Hungarian society. The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has written a letter to Pope Francis regarding President Katalin Novák’s pardon of a former deputy head of a children’s home in Bicske, near Budapest.
Ahead of the Pope’s visit last April, Novák granted a presidential pardon to, among others, the former deputy director of a children’s home in Bicske convicted of being an accomplice in paedophile crimes. Read details HERE: President Novák pardons helper of paedophile.
DK group leader Olga Kálmán told an online press conference on Thursday that the letter was delivered to Michael W Banach, the apostolic nuncio to Hungary.
Kálmán said DK hoped the Pope would “find a way to express our common belief that citing a servant of Jesus cannot pave the way for cooperation with sin and sinners”.
She said DK strove to protect children and would not allow “paedophile-stroking Katalin Novák and the Orbán government to set free further paedophile criminals”.
