Vasile Bănescu propune interzicerea campaniei electorale în biserici: „România trece printr-un asalt al populismului”

Vasile Bănescu criticizes the use of churches for electoral campaigns, emphasizing the need for clear rules to prevent politicization of religious spaces. He argues that visits by politicians should focus on prayer, not campaigning, and suggests that bishops could issue directives to maintain this separation. Bănescu warns that the current rise of populism in Romania is infiltrating religious spaces, and the lack of a response from the Church may encourage extremism. He highlights the manipulation of religious symbols for political gain as a concerning trend.
