The spokesperson of the Romanian Orthodox Church, after Oana Lasconi called Patriarch Daniel "satan", stated: "We will not turn the other cheek when a man who has made history for the Romanian Orthodox Church and the Romanian people is insulted for no reason."

Oana Lasconi, the daughter of Elena Lasconi, generated controversy with her statements about Patriarch Daniel, whom she compared to former Iranian leader Ali Khamenei and to Satan. Her statements, deemed offensive and unfounded, were criticized by the spokesperson of the Orthodox Church, Adrian Agachi, who emphasized that these comments represent a serious and incriminating defamation. Lasconi claimed that Khamenei was "a billion times more feminist and moral" than Patriarch Daniel, despite the fact that the Iranian regime is known for its repression of women.

Agachi highlighted the achievements of Patriarch Daniel and condemned Oana's malicious attitude, who recently resigned from the Romanian Socialist Party, stating that she will focus her energy on helping those in need. The context of her statements is marked by the protest movements in Iran, where women have fought for their rights under a repressive regime.
