15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The style is persuasive, direct, and at times urgent, employing strong security warnings and historical parallels (Soviet occupation, fascist motifs). The speaker uses rhetorical questions to cast doubt on the opponents' motives ("Who benefits from this?") and contrasts his own positions with the spreading of "malicious falsehoods." He begins the speech with rare and effusive praise for the Social Democrats, subsequently establishing a unified, pro-security tone.
