Unrest and plenty of speculation on Sint-Pietersplein in Rome about long wait for smoke: “What happened in the Sixtine Chapel?” | Abroad

Rome – A few dozen thousands of people have waited two hours extra with voltage on the smoke of the special chimney above the Sixtine Chapel on and around Sint-Pietersplein in Rome. The color of the smoke shows whether the 133 cardinals entitled to vote have found the necessary two-thirds majority for a Pope candidate. But it kept waiting, much longer than was predicted. That causes unrest and speculation.
