At a press conference in NRW, the technology wanted to be completely different from the participants. The mics were off - or were they on? In any case, the audience suddenly got more private impressions than expected.


At a press conference in NRW, the technology wanted to be completely different from the participants.

The mics were off - or were they on?

In any case, the audience suddenly got more private impressions than expected.

  • At a

    press conference

    in

    NRW

    , something went wrong with the sound.

  • Instead of climate policy, the discussion suddenly turned to private experiences.

  • The ministers apparently did not notice that they had long been

    connected

    live

    .

Düsseldorf - micros on?

Micros off?

Nobody was so sure

about that at a

press conference

in

NRW

.

Actually, the discussion should revolve around the amendment of the Climate Protection Act and the new Climate Adaptation Act.

Instead, however, the audience got unexpected samples of the

private talks between

the

ministers

.

NRW: Breakdown at the press conference - ministers chat from the sewing box and do not even notice the faux pas

Technology: It doesn't always want what you want.

And so it was the

state government

at the

press conference of

the black and yellow

NRW

cabinet.

While Economics and Energy Minister Prof. Dr.

Andreas Pinkwart and Environment Minister Ursula Heinen-Esser talked about the climate protection goals, but one probably heard at first: nothing.

Only the ministers' lips moved.

The ministry has now

deleted the

posts without sound on

Facebook

.

The

live stream

, which was supposed to be broadcast in the social networks, started again a short time later.

And while the tech tried to fix the problem and figure out whether the

press conference

needed to be repeated, the

ministers

apparently had a lot to say.

They stood behind their desks and talked.

What they didn't know: Not only was the image transmitted, the

sound

was back and easy to understand.

NRW: Breakdown at the press conference - Minister raves with the microphone switched on and notices the problem too late

“I did hybrid

events

, they were just great, better than some face-to-face events,” you hear

Heinen-Esser

say first

on the

live

stream.

Fortunately for the two

politicians,

things didn't

turn out to be completely private

.

They talked about past events during

Corona

.

The environment minister was visibly enthusiastic about the digitization and hybrid events.

These were introduced especially during the

Corona crisis

and represent a mixture of face-to-face guests and online connections. “I'll keep that for myself afterwards,” she says in the video and

raves about

an agricultural event: “There were 650 farmers with it.

Madness!"

But while her

Dr.

Andreas Pinkwart

still answers, the minister suddenly looks at the cell phone and the

breakdown

is noticed.

“We can be heard.

Micro is on, ”she announces.

“I'm just getting the message here.” But the two take it with humor.

"Oh god, we both talk about digitization," jokes Heinen-Esser.

“At least you heard that,” laughs Pinkwart, who is also Minister for Digitization, of all things.

A participant from the off puts it in a nutshell: “This is how the highlights are produced.” And such small

mishaps

do not only happen at the national level.

Even one or the other minister in the Bundestag makes one or

two faux pas

- also in our neighboring country Austria.
