In these days of street demonstrations there is once again an impeachment process unfolding. The accusatory libels seem to be ready and there are already discussions about what they contain and whether this is reasonable or not. However, when it comes to a political trial in Paraguay, the content of the facts, the accusations, or the evidence does not matter as an element to determine the removal or not of the president. What matters is the number of votes in Congress and whether there is formally any or, rather, any accusation. The formal process is only to justify the deployment of the informal rule of the motion of no confidence to remove, in this case, the head of state.
