A survey has shown that the majority of Berliners are critical of a possible Olympic Games in the capital. In the survey commissioned by the "Berliner Morgenpost" newspaper, 56 percent of respondents said they had a very negative (43 percent) or somewhat negative (13 percent) view of Berlin's bid to host the Summer Olympics.
Under the motto "Berlin+", the capital wants to bring the Olympics to Germany together with four other federal states as part of a national bid. Munich, Hamburg and North Rhine-Westphalia with the Rhine and Ruhr region are also bidding to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
