roasting sessions?

During the press conference, many delegates appeared to have a different understanding of their task. Instead of focusing on answering questions and providing solutions, several delegates seemed much more interested in roasting the press team. Clearly, solving issues was optional, but making sarcastic remarks was apparently a top priority.

The press also had the honour of repeating and rephrasing their questions multiple

times. One would think that after hearing the same question for the third or fourth time, an answer might magically appear. Unfortunately, that was not always the case.

Even more surprisingly, some delegates needed assistance from others just to answer

questions directed specifically at them. At certain moments, it felt less like a press

conference and more like an open-book group project where everyone was allowed to help each other.

The press showed a lot of patience throughout the session. Asking a question once

was clearly not enough, asking it twice was barely sufficient, and asking it several times still did not guarantee an answer. Perhaps the delegates were simply building suspense,

because everyone was definitely waiting for answers that never seemed to arrive.
