Executive Secretary of the World Conference of Regular Grand Lodges: there is no World Government


At the end of last month, Radu BĂLĂNESCU, Executive Secretary of the World Conference of Regular Grand Lodges, granted an interview. One of the first questions was regarding the rare interviews given by him. He said that he does not like in any way extremely common occurrences and that discretion does not mean anything secret, it means common sense, informs the Masonic Agency.

Asked if there is a World Government, the Executive Secretary stated: NO! In Masonic terms no! He also said that there is no institutional link between Freemasonry and the Bilderberg, except in cases when certain members of this group are also Freemasons. In other context he stated that those attacking the Church are against the good of the country. He said that he is a good Christian: I'm a very good Orthodox Christian, I go, I worship, pray each time (...).

Other topics discussed were those related to health, the importance of media, social tranquility, discipline, rigor, regionalism in the European Union context etc. The interview was the most extensive and complex interview granted by BĂLĂNESCU. He was elected Executive Secretary of the World Conference of Regular Grand Lodges during the Annual Assembly in Bucharest. He is also Grand Master of the National Grand Lodge of Romania and his second mandate at the helm of Romanian Freemasonry will end next year.
