[14] Madison has opposed the idea of a European Union Minister for Finance,[15] saying that issues such as government budget and immigration must be left to the member states.

[20] In 2018, in the foreign policy magazine Diplomaatia, Madison named supporting and keeping in touch with Estonian communities abroad as a key issue for the survival of Estonia, which should not be compromised for realpolitical reasons.

He had written: "It is true that there were concentration camps, forced labour camps, games with gas chambers were being played, but at the same time such a 'strict' order brought Germany at the time out of a thorough shithole, because development, that admittedly concentrated primarily on the development of the military industry, brought the country only within a couple of years to one of the most powerful in Europe."

His blog post further claimed that while Madison did not seek to justify Nazi mass murders, he nonetheless felt that the Holocaust had 'positive aspects'.

[30] The media also cited his comments from spring 2014 that "It is unfortunately a fact that only now it is being more widely understood and recognized that a national purification is needed, that would create premises that exactly those pro-Estonian ones would gain superiority among the Russians".

The Israeli Foreign Ministry notified the European Parliament Subcommittee on Human Rights that it would not meet with the group because it includes Estonian lawmaker Jaak Madison, leading to the trip's cancelation.

The offense report includes the words "agression sexuelles" (French for sexual aggression) and reads under other circumstances: "Mental trauma and fear caused by a chance encounter."

[35] In May 2019, during an interview with The Guardian, he did not disown his earlier views from 2015 about praising the "positive aspects" Nazi Germany, his explanation being that "pushing people to camps was wrong" but the unemployment rate "was low".

[36] In August 2019, Madison used the term "Final Solution" within the context of Syrian refugees, using the German phrase Die endgültige Lösung ist erforderlich.
