Jaak Madison

Jaak Madison in 2015.

Jaak Madison (born 22 April 1991)[1] is an Estonian politician and a member of Riigikogu. He is the vice chairman of the European Union Affairs Committee of the Estonian parliament. Madison represents the Conservative People's Party of Estonia. Madison was chosen to the parliament in 2015 election with 1883 votes.[2]

In March 2015, media reported about Madison’s old blog post which defended the economic aspects of the Nazi regime. This was largely condemned by public and the Reform Party, which left EKRE out of the coalition talks. Madison raised controversy again later in March, when he was fined for illegal appropriation of a passenger’s smartphone and selling it online while working for Tallink.[3] In April, some female workers of Tallink also accused Madison of forcing himself to their cabins during night-time. Tallink launched an internal investigation of the incidents, whilst Madison called the accusations absurd.[4]
