The rhetorical style is predominantly critical and at times combative, particularly regarding opponents and the centralization of the European Union.

The speaker employs an extremely aggressive, accusatory, and uncompromising style, utilizing strong metaphors and labeling ("mumbo-jumbo," "moral degenerates," "steamroller government," "heads should roll"). He balances logical appeals (budget figures, legal statutes) with emotional and value-based calls, particularly regarding culture and the green transition. The tone is ironic and sarcastic, especially when responding to ministers and criticizing the naivety of coalition politicians.

The tone is skeptical and demanding.
