By Plenary Sessions: Helle-Moonika Helme

The rhetorical style is highly combative, urgent, and emotional, employing sharp criticism and dramatic examples (e.g., the Russification of Estonian children). Strong contrasts are used (Estonian needs vs. foreign aid) alongside historical parallels ("internatsid"). The speech concludes with a physical protest, tearing the draft bill to shreds to emphasize that its proper place is "in the trash can."

The rhetorical style is concerned, skeptical, and cautionary, emphasizing a clear threat to Estonia's mineral resources and expressing deep distrust regarding the government's actions. Strong declarations of conviction ("there is no doubt whatsoever") are employed, and a direct rhetorical question is put to the minister ("Don't you see?"), which signals a confrontational and alarm-raising tone.

The rhetorical style is sharply aggressive and emotional, repeatedly accusing opponents of demagoguery, stupidity, and being out of touch with reality. Strong value judgments and loaded language are employed, such as "vile international demagoguery" and "crime." Appeals are aimed both at correcting statistical arguments and at national sentiments (the threat of sacrificing the education of Estonian children).

The style is sharp, critical, and penetrating, especially when commenting on the government's actions. The speaker employs powerful emotional appeals, highlighting the threat to patient safety (the slip of a surgeon's hand) and labeling the reduction of the Health Insurance Fund's budget as "theft." They pose rhetorical questions to underscore the government's subservience to the EU and demand accountability from specific ministers.

The rhetorical style is extremely combative, emotional, and accusatory, employing strong moral appeals and scare tactics (e.g., "desecrated bodies will remain on your conscience"). Opponents are directly accused of lying, corruption, and abetting perverts, suggesting a conscious, deliberate course of action. The speaker uses dramatic language to emphasize the urgency and danger of the issue.
