From wiki:

She has been criticised for being too lenient when granting presidential pardons. Two of the more controversial cases happened in April 2023 when she pardoned domestic terrorist György Budaházy[13] and the vice principal of a foster home in Bicske, who tried to cover up the principal's crimes when the latter was charged for child molestation.[14] The vice principal's pardon became known to the public only on 2 February 2024. Subsequently there were protests demanding Novák's resignation.[15] She resigned on 10 February 2024.[16] Judit Varga who countersigned the pardon as Minister of Justice, also resigned alongside the president.[17]
