15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session
The speech is combative by nature and emotionally charged, often featuring sharp criticism and using vivid, personal expressions (e.g., “punishes people,” “you deceive voters”). It utilizes rhetorical techniques, draws comparisons between temporary taxation and historical contexts, and maintains a strong accusatory tone; yet, it is underpinned by numerical evidence and historical references. Additionally, the style is somewhat narrative, and the greeting extended to the respected Chairman may serve as a demonstrative opening gambit for the budget debate.
