Romanian AUR deputy and Patriarchate clash over prayer in Tricolor Day law

A draft law on the Day of the Tricolor, tacitly passed by the Senate and under debate in the Chamber of Deputies, includes a prayer authored by AUR deputy Mircia Chelaru. The Romanian Patriarchate denies approving the prayer, while Chelaru claims it was approved by the late Patriarch Teoctist. The dispute highlights procedural and religious legitimacy issues in a symbolic national law.
