SPD Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz answered questions from citizens in the ARD “Wahlarena”.
However, a breakdown caused a stir.
Berlin - There are only three weeks left until the general election.
So the final spurt of the election campaign for the three candidates for Chancellor.
After the classic meeting of the candidates on TV, at which the moderators cross-examine them, all three candidates now answer questions from the citizens, or the questions from the studio audience of the ARD “Wahlarena”, one after the other.
After Annalena Baerbock, it was the turn of the SPD candidate Olaf Scholz on Tuesday evening.
But not everything went smoothly.
Scholz in the ARD “election arena”: The breakdown causes a stir
The broadcast did not even last 15 minutes, when Olaf Scholz answered a citizen's question about his plans with the catering trade.
The ARD camera switched from the close-up to a distant long shot, suddenly the dummy wall of the “election arena” could be seen from behind.
This alone is a bit surprising.
The camera slowly drove around the studio - then suddenly the image began to sway violently and distorted.
A quick camera change from ARD to the Chancellor candidate.
But while he continued to answer, a great deal of noise could be heard in the background - in the background a spectator looked slightly worried to the right.
Apparently the TV camera crashed into a studio stand and fell loudly to the ground.
Scholz did not let himself be deterred and spoke calmly on.
But moderator Andreas Cichowicz felt compelled to say something about the background noise: “You heard that something just fell over.
But everything is fine, ”he said at first, before Scholz was allowed to continue.
Later on, Cichowicz once again stated clearly: “Nothing remains hidden today.
There is puzzles on Twitter.
You heard it rattled.
It was an outside camera that drove against it where.
But you see: we are all lively. "
