Former President Katalin Novák will make a public appearance in London soon, writes Mfor. She will be a speaker at a conference organized by The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC).
After stepping down from her duties due to a scandal around a presidential pardon, Katalin Novák co-founded X-Y Worldwide, an NGO fighting against infertility. The organization has been silent recently; however, co-founder Stephen J. Shaw has posted on X that he will be a keynote speaker at the ARC Conference alongside the former president.
Honored to be an ARC Keynote Speaker alongside so many distinguished names, including @KatalinNovak_HU.
I’m delighted that birthrate collapse, the cause, consequences and solutions will be a core part of this year’s event. https://t.co/CD0E9HdrIp

Novák is presented on the ARC website as “a mother of three children and former President of the Republic of Hungary, the first woman to hold this position. She is the first woman to hold the post of First Lady of three children, the first woman to hold the post of Minister for Family Affairs and was a member of the Hungarian Parliament for many years. Co-founder of X-Y Worldwide, which aims to reverse negative demographic trends.”
The conference will take place in London between February 17-19.
Around 4,000 participants are expected to attend the event. Speakers and panelists will include politicians, journalists, conservative researchers, and influencers.
Founded in 2023, the ARC’s founders include conservative psychologist and opinion leader Jordan Peterson, former Australian Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson, and people associated with the British Conservative Party.
As reported by Hungary Today, the former President pardoned a man, reportedly an accomplice in a pedophile case. This decision caused outrage in the country, and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán submitted a constitutional amendment because of it. Eventually, Novák and Judit Varga, the former Justice Minister who countersigned the decision, submitted their resignations and retired from politics.
