MEP Jaak Madison (EKRE) has been removed from his role as an auxiliary police officer, he says, following public remarks he made on participation in mass protests against coronavirus restrictions. One such protest took place Sunday in central Tallinn. "As of April 5 this year, I am no longer an auxiliary police officer," Madison wrote on his social media account Monday morning. "It's not the case that I got bored of it or gave up due to lack of time. I was released from my status as auxiliary police officer, because I expressed certain political and worldview opinions via [news portal] Objektiiv. The Police and Border Guard Board (PPA) was of the opinion that publishing political and worldview views was contrary to its code of ethics for officials.
