15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, plenary session
The rhetorical style is highly combative, critical, and condemnatory, employing strong negative metaphors (e.g., "tax chaos," "headless state," "inflation galloping like a horse"). The speaker contrasts the government's misleading term, "tax festival," with the actual situation, which is characterized by "unmanageability" and "flailing." The tone is emotionally charged, accusing the government of neglecting the welfare of the people.

15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, press briefing
The rhetorical style is critical, demanding, and at times sharp, especially concerning the Prime Minister's responses, which are referred to as "evasive." Direct questions and phrases are employed (e.g., "tax festival"), and there is an effort to compel the government to provide concrete answers instead of abstract promises.

The speaker's rhetorical style is critical, analytical, and incisive, combining legal argumentation (legal certainty, constitutionality) with strong political accusations. The tone is formal, yet it contains intense accusations directed at the government, labeling their conduct as contrary to the spirit of the constitution. He uses figurative expressions such as "as an ominous threat" and "chaotic tax festival."
