Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is formal and questioning, beginning with a conciliatory expression of thanks to the chairman for their accommodation. The speaker immediately moves to the logical appeal, demanding a science-based justification for decisions and using a specific deputy (Luisa Rõivas) as an example, representing more remote locations.
