Germany wants Greece out of the euro and is done with concessions

Germany, June-12 A small majority of Germans now want Greece out of the single currency, while an overwhelming majority believe that Europe shouldn't offer Athens any new concessions to keep it in the bloc, according to a new poll from German broadcaster ZDF. 

Out of 1,230 randomly selected voters, 627 people (51%) would prefer Greece out of the euro, while 41% think Greece should stay.

On the other hand, 70% of voters said they wanted no more concessions in the ongoing bailout talks. In fact, only 48% of Germany's far-left Die Linke party want further concessions — that figure drops to 21% for supporters of the CDU, Angela Merkel's party.

Germans are also becoming more confident that their own country would be undamaged by Grexit: 65% believe that, up from 57% when the same question was asked for a previous poll.

Based on recent reports, Greece's current negotiations to unlock billions of euros in bailout cash are not going well.These figures support this suggestion — Germany (and many other parts of Europe) are not at all happy to see another bailout for Greece, while Greece's governing party doesn't think they're getting a good enough deal. 

That leaves the negotiators between a rock and a hard place.
