Romania in chaos: Presidential election canceled after foreign influence!

Vatikanstadt, 00120 Vatikanstadt, Italien - Vatican city, December 14, 2024 - the new Romanian ambassador to the Holy Chair, George Gabriel Bologan, officially started his service by presenting his letter of certification to Pope Francis. Bologan, who previously worked as an ambassador in Spain and Italy, brings valuable knowledge from his studies in philosophy and theology as well as public administration. The Vatican will be careful with regard to the current political circumstances in Romania, which is in a domestic crisis after the first round of the first round of the presidential election.

In the opinion of the Romanian Constitutional Court, the reason for repeating the election is excessive influence from abroad, in particular by Russia. This happened after the pro-Russian candidate Calin Georgescu was victorious in the first ballot and represented strongly nationalist positions, which also emphasized the country's Orthodox heritage. In a country in which the population mostly belongs to the Orthodox Church, these election promises have led to an inner church debate, which is now becoming more important than ever. As katholisch.de reported messages in the Vatican have a decisive role in diplomacy that not only introduces the policy of a country to the holy stool, but also as a bridge between universal Church and global political matters.

The role of the Vatican messages

The Vatican maintains diplomatic relationships with a total of 184 countries, including the EU, and has 92 messages in the eternal city. These smaller messages often act as a translator between the military and diplomatic structures of the countries involved and the Vatican authority. These diplomatic connections are of essential importance, especially in times of crisis. The Pope's close contact with his ambassadors enables direct influence on international politics. This gives the conversations and encounters that take place with representatives of Israel and Palestine, for example, a high political weight, while the proximity to the Vatican states with influence and media attention.
