15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, press briefing
The rhetorical style is confrontational, accusatory, and insistent, particularly regarding the government's priorities, referring to incentives for entrepreneurs as "gifts." Strong rhetorical questions are employed to highlight the injustice of the government's choices and to compel the Prime Minister to respond. The follow-up question stressed that the Prime Minister had left the answer "totally unaddressed."

Fifteenth Riigikogu, fifth sitting, plenary session
The style is formal, analytical, and question-focused, addressing the presenters and the minister respectfully.
