By Plenary Sessions: Marek Reinaas

The rhetorical style is analytical and persuasive, focusing on logical argumentation and the recurring metaphor of the "balance point." Rhetorical questions are employed (e.g., "Why are we doing this?"), and the tone is optimistic regarding the positive impact of the budget. The speaker also uses a humorous introduction (the roof of Jõgeva church) but quickly transitions to a formal and substantive discussion.
