15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, extra plenary sitting
The rhetorical style is sharply critical, combative, and at times dramatic, employing strong judgments such as "irresponsible policy," "cynical grotesque," and "Latin American fiscal policy." The appeals are a mix of specific financial data and an emotional emphasis on the decline of state security and credibility. The speaker also uses figurative language, referring to the government's inaction as a "hostage crisis."

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, additional plenary session
The rhetorical style is sharply critical, urgent, and combative, accusing the government of fear-driven procedural tricks and unethical behavior. Both logical arguments (specific budget numbers and alternative proposals) and dramatic, emotional language are employed, referring to a "Latin American-style financial policy" and "the black week of tax increases." The tone is formal, yet intensely accusatory.

Fifteenth Riigikogu, third session, plenary sitting.
The rhetorical style is sharp, critical, and forceful, especially concerning economic policy, accusing the government of "anti-business policies" and "sheer folly." Both logical arguments are employed (statistics, comparison with Latvia) and value-based appeals (freedom, "Red China's personalized state"). The speaker urges the Minister of Economic Affairs to act as a "check" against the government's activities.
