> the question of whether it is a sound basis for impeaching an elected president is not a simple one. Renowned legal scholars differ on this point.

The fiscal responsibility law is a thing. Governors and mayors have been taken down from office for much less.

These "renowned scholars" that you mention are all tied to the workers party so their views are absolutely biased. Even the Bar order of Brazil, knowingly left leaning and pro-workers party has declared support for impeachment.

How come? This is democracy in action. The law and the constitution are being followed to the letter.

Did Collor's impeachment undermine our democracy?
