15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session.
The speaker’s style is highly critical and combative, employing powerful emotional imagery and metaphors, such as comparing the government to an "alcoholic son" who is taking the mother’s last. He emphasizes the urgency of the situation, referencing the demographic crisis and a historical threat (the delay of 1939). He blends logical arguments (budgetary data, inflation) with sharp accusations regarding the government’s duplicity ("the form is the content").
