Shortly thereafter, however, the BOR emerged as a powerful political actor and an uncontested source of moral strength, with opinion polls constantly ranking it the most popular institution in the country and a vast majority of Romanians stating their full confidence in it.
The letter reminded the BOR that "the PDSR government was the first in Romania's history to grant priests bonuses," and claimed that Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic priests actively encouraged believers to vote for the major opposition coalition, the Democratic Convention of Romania (CDR) (Radio Romania, 10 October 1996).
