Part 5/7:
The discussion surrounding Lula's impeachment is complex, blending legal and political elements. The congress's power to define and interpret what constitutes a crime of responsibility will ultimately determine the feasibility of impeachment proceedings. Historically, impeachment processes in Brazil often revolve more around political maneuvering than strict legal definitions.
Additionally, the historical context of impeachment in Brazil cannot be overlooked. The comparison with former President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment due to similar budgetary violations serves to underline the precariousness of Lula's current situation. The severity of Lula's alleged infractions, deemed worse than Rousseff's prior actions, further complicates his standing.
