15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, press briefing
The rhetorical style is critical, demanding, and confrontational, especially towards the head of government. The speaker balances the logical appeal (extensive statistics and EU comparisons) with the emotional appeal (people have to save money by cutting back on food). Sharp rhetorical questions and strong contrasts are used, for example, taxing carrots at the same rate as luxury goods, to emphasize the injustice of the policy.

The style is formal and critical, delivered by posing a question to the Commission's representative during the plenary session. The speaker employs a rhetorical question to cast doubt on the policy's positive impact ("how, in your opinion, is this supposed to alleviate people's situation?"). The argumentation blends logical details (wage criteria) with a strong emotional appeal (the deteriorating financial situation of Estonian families).
