Such a truly bizarre crime for a president to pardon…

Just instant career suicide.

Polish president did that just before his reelection. The pedophile was out of prison already, the pardon was to remove the restraining order, because the offender lives with his victim anyway. President was presented with a negative opinion from a psychologist for that pardon.

His voters did not care, they perceived him as the family-values candidate because he said LGBT are not people. The church helped him a lot.

Weirdest thing is, some Fidesz fans try to smear the opposition for this event, by inventing all sorts of crazy conspiracy theories.
