Details. I wondered, why would Novak stumble so badly?
Was the list of 25 pardons, submitted by the Pope?
No evidence of that. Novak declines to explain her actions.
She pardoned about 25 right before the visit with the pope. Very little news on the others. There is something in this with the pope.
One of her staff slipped this pervert in with the others?
Who were the others?

here is one of them or all of them including the pervert may be part of the group?
“The week of the papal visit is a special occasion for the head of state to exercise the power of pardon,” President Katalin Novak said late Thursday.
The “wide pardon” included members of the defunct far-right Hunnia (Arrows of the Hungarians) paramilitary group, she said.
Gyorgy Budahazy, 53, was handed a 13-year jail term in 2016 for acts of terror, along with 16 other militants.
They were found guilty of violent attacks between 2007 and 2009, including firing bombs, missiles and throwing Molotov cocktails at the homes and offices of socialist and liberal deputies then in power.
According to prosecutors, the group’s aim was to intimidate lawmakers to influence their vote.
Hungary has not seen such sustained organised attacks in past decades, the prosecutor noted after the trial.
Budahazy, who had said he was a victim of a “show-trial” left the prison overnight on horseback — a symbol among the far-right as a reference to the country’s rebellious past.
In an interview with Hungarian tabloid Blikk, he promised to offer “a prayer of thanks” for the pardon during the Pope’s mass on Sunday.
