Papal Conclave: Macron Accused of Meddling in Papal Conclave to Push French Cardinal for Next Pope?

French President Emmanuel Macron is under scrutiny for allegedly trying to sway the upcoming papal conclave in favor of French cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline.

Conservative Italian outlets claim Macron met with key Vatican figures to boost Aveline’s candidacy.

While some label it a diplomatic power play to restore influence with the Holy See, others dismiss it as rumor.

The conclave, set for May 7, will see 135 cardinals vote to elect Pope Francis’ successor.

The Elysee and Catholic groups deny interference, but suspicion continues to swirl in Rome and beyond.
