By Plenary Sessions: Rain Epler

The rhetorical style is interrogative, persistent, and ultimately confrontational, as the speaker repeatedly returns to the same questions. Sarcasm is employed (referencing a previous "witch hunt" or "smear campaign") and a direct challenge is issued to the press (throwing down the gauntlet) to expose the minister's past actions. The tone is formal, but sharp in content and politically charged.

The rhetorical style is formal and interrogative, focusing on precision and citation ("I believe I am quoting accurately"). The tone is analytical, seeking to resolve procedural ambiguity through logical reasoning. The address to the session chair is polite ("Thank you, good session chair!").

The rhetorical style is highly combative, critical, and at times alarmist, accusing the coalition of anti-state activity and engaging in the "theater of the absurd." It employs both logical arguments (such as the lack of impact analysis and the ambiguity regarding the purpose of the taxes) and strong emotional and moralizing appeals (including calls for finding a conscience and warnings about people moving away from Estonia). Opponents are labeled as arrogant and as repeating Kremlin talking points.

The rhetorical style is polemical and intensely sarcastic, employing ironic acknowledgment aimed at the prime ministerial candidate ("It's something, at least. We'll proceed step by step."). Sharp comparisons are utilized (the PM candidate as "the new Kaja Kallas, just a man") and concrete examples (a dance festival funded by the Just Transition Fund) to express profound distrust.

The rhetorical style is highly combative, critical, and direct, utilizing strong emotional appeals and accusations. Irony is employed (e.g., making the tax "better," using scare quotes) alongside sharp metaphors, such as "scorching people out of the land" as part of the green transition. The speaker presents logical arguments regarding the economic recession but concludes the speech with a strong ethical and personal attack against the coalition's motives.
