Positions

In Dortmund, Bülow has been involved in the Dortmund AIDS service for a long time .

In a review of his book Wir Abnicker. Helmut Lölhöffel wrote about the power and impotence of the people's representatives (2010) : "In the SPD, Bülow is considered sincere and loyal, but also an egocentric loner."

In January 2016, he and others founded the “Democracy Plus” initiative, which, according to his own statements, aims to “sustainably improve and advance our democracy”. Election fatigue, legitimacy problems and lobbying should be discussed.

As a critic of the grand coalition, he repeatedly spoke out against a renewed alliance between the SPD and CDU / CSU in the months of the formation of the government in 2017/2018. In March 2018 he voted against Angela Merkel in the election for Chancellor .

He pursues two goals in the so-called progressive platform : in a joint left alliance, on the one hand, the SPD is to be renewed and, on the other, concepts against social inequality in Germany are to be developed. 5,000 people signed the Progressive Social Platform's appeal. Around half of the supporters are SPD members, the other half members of other parties or non-party.

Marco Bülow is a co-signer of the call for the left collective movement to stand up .

He left the party in November 2018 as a reaction to prolonged content and personal disagreements between Bülow and the SPD.

family

Marco Bülow is divorced. In November 2010 he became the father of twins, a boy and a girl. The son died on the day he was born; Bülow then took a political break until February 2011.
