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.

Black smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel chimney on Wednesday night, signaling no pope was elected in the first vote of the Vatican conclave. Over 45,000 gathered in St. Peter’s Square hoping for white smoke that would signal a new pontiff. Cardinals will resume voting Thursday. The conclave follows the death of Pope Francis, and all eyes are on the Vatican for a historic moment. Tensions and anticipation remain high as the secretive selection process continues behind closed doors. A two-thirds majority is required to elect the next spiritual leader of 1.4 billion Catholics.
