The upcoming funeral of Pope Francis is drawing global attention not only for its significance but also for the complex diplomatic maneuvering involved in seating world leaders. Organizers have opted for a French alphabetical order to avoid political tensions, resulting in notable figures like Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy being seated far apart and away from the front rows. This arrangement is seen as a strategic move to manage the egos and sensitivities of attending dignitaries. The event highlights the Vatican's role as a stage for international diplomacy amid a tense geopolitical climate. The seating plan has become a focal point, reflecting broader global rivalries and alliances.
