President Katalin Novák met Hungarian sportspeople at the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 during her official visit in Qatar on Friday, her office said.
Novák met the athletes and leaders of the Hungarian Swimming Association (MUSZ), members of the national waterpolo team and FINA President Husain Al-Musallam. She watched a Hungary-Qatar men’s waterpolo match which ended with a 28:1 Hungarian victory and granted an award to player of the match Vince Vigvari. During the meeting with the FINA president, she said preparations were progressing well for the move of the FINA headquarters to Budapest. She added that it represented the recognition of Hungarian sports, especially watersports, and the world-class events hosted by Hungary.
She also noted that 2024 had been declared a “Year of Movement” in Hungary, with a focus on community as well as competitive sports. Novák and Mussallam discussed the preparations for the 2027 World Aquatics Championships in Budapest and Mussallam expressed his appreciation for Hungarians’ openness and support for watersports. Novák is in Qatar on an official visit and she is scheduled to meet Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on Sunday. He paid a visit to Hungary last August and invited Novák to visit Qatar.
The biggest pedophile scandal in Hungary
We wrote about the child abuse scandal and the presidential clemency in detail HERE. The presidential pardon towards the helper of the abuser came to light earlier this week. Since then, several NGOs and political parties demanded the president’s resignation, who was responsible for family affairs as a member of the Orbán cabinet. One of the most experienced Hungarian political analysts, Gábor Török, wrote that the political career of Novák ended with the scandal. That is true even if she remains president and serves her term until 2027.
Furthermore, the president convened an advisory board with popular members of the Hungarian society and business sector, including writers, anchormen, investors, etc. Several of them quit their job after the scandal broke out, including Gábor Gundel-Takács and János Lackfi.

Novak you have two options: (1) Explain fully why the person was pardoned giving strong judicial reasoning that Hungarians can accept. OR (2) RESIGN. If you do not do either of the above you will be remain in office as a disgrace and shunned by everyone who values a moral life.
Concur Larry.
This is not a case that the Heat has got to HOT in the Kitchen and I’m out of here.
Morals & Ethics – examination of her OWN conscience, as a Mother.
It’s a HUMILIATING decision that not just personally disgraces Katalin Novak, but her “Adored” Party Leader of Fidesz, that being the current Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban.
Victor Orban – would have been of KNOWLEDGE of the Presidents WRONGFUL decision.
Hungary – population 9.6 million, of which 43% are recorded as being Baptized into the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
We know that around 7% actively participate in there Baptised Faith, but from a religious point of view, this decision made by the President of Hungary this past week, contradicts DEEPLY the “teachings & practices” of being a Catholic, a Roman Catholic of the Catholic Church of Hungary.
Peter Erdo – the Hungarian Cardinal, head of the Holy Roman Catholic Church of Hungary, an individual who is thought may be elevated to the Chair of St, Peter, after Pope Francis is “called home” why have YOU not come out of your Palace – and made comments on this re-versed decision, that is against the teachings of the Holy Roman Catholic Church ?
We know your reputation Cardinal Erdo, to be a somewhat “lap dog” to the Victor Orban led Government of Hungary, never, never one in 22 “long” years of your Cardinalship – to venture playing Church against Politics, which is cause to write a major failing of you holding the position you hold, in the Holy Roman Catholic Church of Hungary.
Play the role of SPEAKING out for your “children” the 43% Baptized Hungarians.
Speak out – be HEARD – what is YOUR opinion of this PARDONING matter ?
“Be not Afraid” – favourite word usage of your idolised Pontiff – Saint Pope John Paul 11.
Lead your people -lead the Holy Roman Catholic Church of Hungary, in the PERILOUS times we LIVE.
Be a Voice, not “hide” behind the Palace walls you reside.
