About Martin SONNEBORN
Martin Sonneborn represents Germany in the European Parliament as a member of Die PARTEI, a satirical political party founded in 2004 by editors of the German satirical magazine Titanic. Die PARTEI positions itself as a parody of traditional politics while maintaining actual political participation, often using humor and satire to critique established political processes. Sonneborn himself is a prominent satirist, journalist, and television presenter who served as editor-in-chief of Titanic magazine for many years before entering politics. He sits among the Non-attached Members, a diverse group of MEPs who do not belong to any of the main political groups in the European Parliament and therefore operate independently without a unified political agenda. Sonneborn maintains an attendance record of 77.7%, slightly below the Parliament average of approximately 82%, and has participated in 78% of votes, casting ballots in 1,456 of 1,873 recorded votes during his current term.
