15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The rhetorical style is confrontational and challenging, aimed directly at the opposition (the Social Democrats), calling their political consistency into question. Rhetorical questions are employed, and the presenter is required to confirm the experts’ viewpoints, which lends the speech an evidence-based, yet sharp, tone. The speaker uses the accusation of "looking in the mirror" to attack the opposition’s previous inaction.
