15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session.
The tone is critical, but occasionally appreciative, praising the chairman of the Finance Committee for providing substantive answers. He uses strong and memorable phrases ("budget of tax hikes," "financing of green madness") and emphasizes the government's alleged misstatements (such as linking the car tax to support for people with disabilities).
