15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The rhetorical style is extremely aggressive, accusatory, and emotional, focusing on moral condemnation (lying, corruption, arrogance). It employs repetitive and intense labeling (e.g., "tankist," "incompetent governance," "blatant lie") and stands in stark opposition to the tradition of respectful debate. The objective is the discrediting of the opponent, not consensus, stressing that the government is making "terribly wrong decisions."
