By Plenary Sessions: Mart Maastik

The style is formal, critical, and analytical, employing strong metaphors ("wolves in sheep's clothing") and philosophical analogies (the impact of wealth accumulation on one's worldview). The speaker presents their position by highlighting logical contradictions, balancing the logical argumentation with real-life observations concerning political maturation.

The speaker’s rhetorical style is forceful and emotional, focusing on the threat of national extinction and employing powerful imagery (e.g., Estonians becoming like mammoths). He/She directs sharp rhetorical questions at the Minister and uses the example of Sweden as a negative cautionary precedent. The overall tone is confrontational and critical, stressing the value-based and existential dimension of politics.

The rhetorical style is critical, urgent, and at times personal, employing specific professions (surveyor, geographer) to cast doubt on the competence of opponents. Specific examples (Latvia) are used to support the arguments, while emotionally highlighting the public's declining purchasing power. The speaker expresses frustration when interrupted during the speech.

The style is predominantly formal and politically argued, utilizing technical terms (e.g., market failure, anomalous price jumps, force majeure). Both a defensive stance (on the part of the government) and a cautious, critical tone are evident, emphasizing the need to thoroughly consider consumer protection and crisis preparedness. An emotional appeal is also employed, referencing the situation of people in rural areas and the loss of consumer confidence.

The rhetorical style is sharp, confrontational, and directly challenging, presenting the minister with questions that cast doubt on his claims and the government’s unity. Logical arguments are employed (such as the tax’s inefficiency in meeting climate goals), and political incompetence is highlighted. The speaker utilizes rhetorical questions to underscore the government’s internal fragmentation.

The style is formal, respectfully addressing the presiding officer and the minister. The tone is analytical and cautious, employing rhetorical questions to draw attention to the potential risks of the government's actions. The appeals are grounded in logic and strategic foresight, emphasizing the necessity of being "smarter" and "courteous."

The rhetorical style is serious and straightforward, combining logical arguments (the tax's inefficiency and the lack of budgetary connection) with an emotional appeal focusing on the hardships faced by rural residents. Personal and local examples (Saaremaa, living far from Kuressaare) are used to illustrate the situation. The tone is critical and interrogative, aimed directly at the Regional Minister.

The tone is critical, urgent, and concerned, employing strong metaphors, such as comparing the government's fiscal policy to Münchhausen pulling himself out of a swamp. He uses both logical arguments (the effect of taxes on the shadow economy) and emotional appeals ("let's not kill entrepreneurs").
