At the end of May 2025, it became a viral video with the Euronews Romania logo. Apparently, this is a fragment of a direct broadcast that the TV channel led from the inauguration ceremony of the new president of the country. In the video, Nikushor Dan shakes his hands to the members of the Constitutional Court, warmly welcomes the main rabbi of Romania Rafael Shaffer and the Roman Catholic Archbishop Aurel Perke, and then continues to move on, not paying attention to the Patriarch Daniel standing nearby.

On May 26, the inauguration of Nikushor was given became the final point in the long and full scandals of the election campaign. In the first round of the presidential election, which took place on November 24, 2024, Won The ultra -right pro -Russian candidate Kalin George, who received 22.94% of the vote. Before the campaign, the politician was almost unknown, and led his election campaign Mostly in Tiktok. The second round I had to take place two weeks later, but on November 28, the Romanian National Defense Council held an emergency meeting at which he studied the evidence of a large -scale foreign one (primarily Russian) interference in the election process. December 4 President Klaus Johannis declassified related documents, and two days later the Constitutional Court of Romania adopted an unprecedented solution On canceling the results of the first round and re -conducting elections. Georgshka planned to become a presidential candidate again, but against him Criminal charges were made And before the election Not allowed. As a result, the favorites of the presidential race steel Bucharest Mayor Nikushor Dan, adhering to liberal pro -Western glances, and leader ultra -right Parties AUR George Simion. Although the Simion won the first tour with a large margin, in the second the victory went to Dan.
On the EURONEWS Romania YouTube channel Layd Recording a direct broadcast from the entry ceremony is given office. A fragment published by Telegram channels is genuine, it begins in the 42nd minute of the video. It is noteworthy that during the communication, the Romanian Catholics and Jews, the Patriarch Daniil standing in the background, is clearly not striving to interview with the president - he is busy with the fact that he removes the worship.
Based on this, it can be assumed that earlier the Patriarch took part in the President’s entry ceremony. Indeed, if you reinforce the broadcast, it is clear that in the 24th minute, the Primate of the Romanian Orthodox Church rose to the rostrum to make a prayer for the well-being of the country.
At the end of the prayer, the Patriarch shook his hand to the president and blessed him.
The earliest publication, in which this video is accompanied by unreasonable critical remarks addressed to Dan, “verified” found in the English -language segment of the social network X. She appeared In the Daily Romania account the day after the inauguration, May 27, at 09:55 Moscow time. Judging by the content published on the page and Description profiles, its owner adheres to nationalist and Euro -rose -based views, supports the Georges and Simion, and Dana calls illegitimate president. Among the Russian-speaking bloggers, the video was the first to post the Telegram channel "The goat screamed»About an hour after the Daily Romania. This channel was already repeatedly Noticed in the spread of inaccurate information.
Thus, on the video, which hugs in social networks, the President of Romania does not welcome the Patriarch just because he has already done this about ten minutes earlier. Moreover, at that moment the head of the Romanian Orthodox Church was busy with the fact that he was filmed by the vestment required to participate in the ceremony.
