Visitors from Japan at the AfD

On 22 September 2026, a delegation from the Sanseitō party (Japanese for: Participation Party), led by party chairman Sohei Kamiya, visited the AfD at the Bundestag in Berlin. The delegation addressed the Foreign Affairs Committee and met with co-leader Tino Chrupalla. In the days leading up to this, members of Sanseitō had attended the Patriots Network conference in Madrid (Spain).

Sanseitō was founded in March 2020 as a party protesting against the coronavirus measures and has spread conspiracy theories about vaccination. It is ultra-nationalist and opposes immigration.
