taz Salon über Hamburgs Olympiabewerbung: Milliardenregen oder Milliardengrab?

In the organizer's words:

Around 1.3 million Hamburg voters will have the opportunity to vote in the city council referendum on May 31: Should the city bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2036, 2040 or 2044? If the red-green Senate has its way, the answer must be yes - but there is strong opposition to this. Are the Games a historic opportunity for the city of Hamburg or would they mean a billion-dollar grave? These guests discuss the pros and cons of a bid in the taz Salon: Alske Freter (sports policy spokesperson for the Greens), Christoph Holstein (SPD sports councillor), Eckart Maudrich (spokesperson for the Nolympia initiative) and Heike Sudmann (parliamentary group leader of Die Linke). André Zuschlag, taz editor, moderates.
