15th Riigikogu, Extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The rhetorical style is sharply critical and forceful, accusing the government of incompetence and "green madness," and warning that the country is falling deeper into the abyss. Both logical arguments (the impact of tax increases on consumption) and emotional appeals (the ability of families and rural areas to cope) are employed. The speaker also presented an ironic proposal to impose a car tax solely on the members and voters of the governing parties who support it, in order to create a "targeted and needs-based tax measure."
