Currently, Viljar Jaamu has not yet submitted a resignation letter. But Jevgeni Ossinovski said that Jaamu will do so in the near future. Ossinovski added that if a party no longer bears governmental responsibility, then the corresponding people will leave their positions. This is his understanding.
Ossinovski said that when the party left the coalition, the members who were in power would also write resignation letters. This was done by two district elders. He does not think Jaamu would act differently.
Tallinn City Government Communication Adviser Jukko Nooni wrote that Jaamu is currently busy handing over his area of responsibility. More details about his future plans will be revealed at tomorrow's press conference.
The situation is more complicated with Toomas Kruusimäe, who belongs to the Reform Party and is the Chairman of the Tallinn City Council. Tallinn now has a minority government and they no longer have a majority in the council. Therefore, a minority coalition does not have much say in the council leadership. Ossinovski said that this is rather a question for Kruusimäe whether he wishes to continue or resign along with other Reform Party members. The city government does not take the initiative here, and the council must sort out its own affairs.
At the city government meeting last week, it was decided to dismiss Reform Party members Sander Andla and Doris Raudsepp from their positions. Deputy Mayor Pärtel-Peeter Pere submitted his resignation. On Monday of this week, Viljar Jaamu was still listed as Deputy Mayor on the city government website. On Tuesday, an extraordinary meeting of the Reform Party took place, where it was decided not to continue the coalition in the Tallinn City Council.
