By Plenary Sessions: Mart Maastik

The rhetorical style is courteous and question-focused, typically beginning with expressions of gratitude to the presiding officer and the presenter. It employs emotional contrast (such as lovely animals versus committing harm) and references themes prevalent in the media to substantiate the question being posed.

The rhetorical style is confrontational and critical, focusing on logical and mathematical arguments designed to refute the opposing side's alleged "number magic." It employs repetitive questioning and direct cost comparisons (350 million versus 1.3 billion). The style also incorporates a cautionary historical analogy (the story of the Chinese sparrows) to illustrate the dangerous consequences of ideological policy.

The rhetorical style is passionate, nationalistic, and insistent, employing strong emotional appeals and metaphors (e.g., "servitude," "masters in their own land"). The speaker balances historical context (referencing Heinz Valk) with logical security arguments, warning against dangers that are not necessarily only military, citing the example of Sweden.

The rhetorical style is sharply critical and combative, focusing on government accountability and the skewing of priorities. The speaker employs both emotional appeals (the worsening livelihood of children) and a logical contrast between large sums of money (2.6 billion euros for wind farms) and small sums (0.5% of that total). Direct demands for justification are issued to the coalition in the context of budget cuts and tax increases.

The rhetorical style is formal and straightforward, focusing on logical and detailed inquiries. The speaker repeatedly insists on specific calculations and numerical data, deliberately avoiding emotional appeals. The tone is businesslike and exacting, geared toward identifying practical solutions and determining associated costs.

The style is confrontational, demanding, and repetitive, emphasizing the need to receive concrete answers ("Please answer me briefly"). Logical and data-driven arguments are used, supported by simple yet sharp comparisons (a textbook example) to criticize the ministers for avoiding giving answers. The speaker accuses the ministers of obfuscation and incompetence, particularly criticizing the Minister of Finance for their ignorance regarding energy matters.

The rhetorical style is direct, skeptical, and demanding, leveling sharp objections and rhetorical questions at the minister to expose alleged contradictions. Logical appeals are employed, requiring a clear explanation of costs and benefits. Furthermore, exaggeration (such as merging all Estonian schools) is used to push the idea of consolidation to the point of absurdity.

The rhetorical style is critical and combative, particularly regarding the government's decision-making process, which is deemed misguided policy. Ironic and figurative expressions are employed ("the three wise men of the West," "in the dark and around the corner") to discredit opponents. The emphasis rests on logical justification and calculations, though the tone maintains a high intensity.

The rhetorical style is analytical, challenging, and critical, focusing on logical arguments and data. The speaker presents their views as direct questions to the Prime Minister, demanding clarification regarding the justification of expensive projects. The tone is formal, using the addresses "Mr. Chairman!" and "Esteemed Prime Minister!"

The rhetorical style is insistent and critical, utilizing emotionally charged expressions like "self-destructive green madness" and "inevitable collapse." The speaker presents their viewpoint in the form of a question, emphasizing the logical economic consequences that impede even the raising of defense expenditures. The tone is formal, yet concerned.

The rhetorical style is formal and interrogative, focused on challenging the prime minister's statements and demanding clarification. Logical juxtaposition is employed (Lithuania's success versus Estonia's decline), and the overall tone is skeptical and analytical.
