15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The style of speech is direct, uncompromising, and emotional, emphasizing national dignity and imperativeness. Strong and definitive expressions are used, such as "Period" and "dignity is not for sale." The appeal is value-based, not logical or data-driven, and the goal is proclamation, not persuasion.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The rhetorical style is urgent, accusatory, and combative, repeatedly employing direct questions and sharp criticism directed at the government's inaction. The speaker stresses logical arguments (economic competitiveness) but delivers them with high intensity, issuing warnings about businesses being forced to close their doors. Irony is employed, referencing "Eesti 200's best practice that the plan is to make a plan."

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, information briefing
The rhetorical style is highly combative, accusatory, and stresses the urgency of the situation. Sharp language is employed (e.g., "sleight of hand"), and the Prime Minister is accused of attacking those who pose questions and attributing false claims to them. The appeal itself is a blend of logical criticism (concerning costs and irrationality) and emotional pressure (focusing on the coping ability of businesses and individuals).
