The speaker employs both emotional appeals (ingratitude towards the Estonian diaspora) and logical arguments (the positions of the Foreign Affairs Committee, economic damage). The personal criticism directed at the Foreign Minister is intense, calling him a "spice grocer" and accusing him of historical insensitivity.
