15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The rhetorical style is critical and confrontational, posing pointed questions to the prime minister regarding the fairness and logic of the tax policy. It employs both logical arguments (such as directing the tax burden where the money flows) and emotional appeals focusing on the deteriorating living standards and declining purchasing power of the Estonian people. The overall tone is urgent and accusatory, highlighting the negative consequences of the government's actions.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The style is highly combative, accusatory, and insistent, employing emotional appeals and rhetorical questions ("What is wrong with you, dear governing coalition?"). The speaker emphasizes the deterioration of the economy and the difficulties people face in making ends meet, while simultaneously using powerful metaphors (e.g., Rail Baltic running into the swamp, war hysteria) and accusations regarding the government's personal benefits (private jets, business class). Emotional and direct language is preferred, interspersed with procedural disputes.

The speaker employs strong and emotional expressions, such as "a nervous, hysterical atmosphere" and "political pornography," to underscore the gravity of the situation. They raise questions that challenge the minister's competence and the government's plans, demanding concrete solutions.
