The President of Hungary, Katalin Novák (Orbán is the PM) just resigned after the scandal of her giving presidential pardon to a convict who helped suppress victims in a pedophile case.
The leader of Fidesz's EP nominee list, Judit Varga also resigned from all her positions, because as the former Minister of Justice she signed the appeal forwarding it to Novák.
What nobody knows (maybe outside the tightest circle of Orbán and Novák) is how *anyone* involved (incl. advisors, aids, etc) thought that pardon was a good idea in the first place? The guy is old, but he wasn't even in prison anymore, his only benefit is a clear background that allows him to work with children...
