It is unfortunate that the late-night banging of Jaak Valge, vice-chairman of the Estonian Nationalists and Conservatives party, in Falgi Park in Tallinn, has been turned into a joke by the parties involved, as well as in the media and among politicians. The height of absurdity is how White's co-fighter, Andres Aule, calls this misdeed a sound performance, which should mark a protest against the silent era, in addition, there is also the sound of some sort of starting gun. Although initially the motivation for banging had been of a personal nature. What next? When EKRE MP Helle-Moonika Helme asked the deputy chairman of the parliament Toomas Kivimägi for an assessment at the Riigikogu session yesterday, inquiring whether the Riigikogu board had discussed the matter, he was told that it still happens, it has happened to him too. Partners in crime... "Does the board of the Riigikogu intend to discuss this topic and take some kind of position regarding the behavior of a member of the Riigikogu in a public place and all the consequences that may arise here in the Riigikogu," Helme asked. Toomas Kivimägi answered: "The board has not really taken any positions on similar cases. We all have had some in our lives, some more, some less, but certainly some have had no slips or mistakes at all. I also just received a traffic fine, today I paid it. The board does not necessarily need to meet for this. I see that Mr. Jaak Valge is fully adequate, and we do not have the slightest doubt about the safety of Jaak Valge being here among us. And our security service is also there, so in that sense there is no need to worry about it. I certainly do not justify this incident and I am very glad that Jaak Valge himself has condemned it. This certainly does not honor the Riigikogu or the member of the Riigikogu. But what to do, unfortunately we all make mistakes from time to time in life, maybe not everyone, but unfortunately I am one of them."
