He was born to a Polish-Jewish family, as a son of Janina and Wiktor Borowski(born as Aron Berman).
He was Minister of Finance of Poland from 1993 to 1994.[2] From 2004 to January 2009 he was the leader and chairman, of a new Polish left-wing party called Social Democracy of Poland (SdPl), formed from a break-away group of SLD. He was a candidate in the presidential elections in 2005, but he got fourth place, with 10%.[3]
Marek Borowski is an MP from Piła, but in the September 2005 parliamentary elections he contested a seat in Warsaw. Borowski was the Social Democratic presidential candidate in the 2005 Polish presidential elections. Just as his party received a massive defeat in the September 2005 Parliamentary elections, Borowski lost the presidential elections, receiving 10% of the vote and fourth place, despite Aleksander Kwaśniewski's support following the withdrawal of Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz.[4]
He most recently ran (unsuccessfully) for the office of mayor of Warsaw in the 2010 local elections.[5]
