A portrait of Marco Pogo

Politics between punchlines, punk rock and alcohol

Dominik Wlazny (37) alias Marco Pogo: He is a doctor, punk rocker, politician, beer drinker, vegan and marathon runner. He has a tattoo of Michael Häupl with a mohawk hairstyle on his thigh. Who is the leftist and left-wing scaremonger? What chances does he have and what makes him tick?

Well, no, not really. He's certainly not wearing the polyester jacket with a beer look hanging on the clothes rack in his office for the photo. Beer party or not. It's about politics. Serious about beer this time and no longer a satirical project. No more free beer to win votes, no more slogans like: "Where there's a will, there's a drink."
