Yes, he deserves it, and more for all the other crimes he committed that are not on trial; but the reason may face any consequence at all is that he did one of the things he was elected to do, fight the extremely corrupt Supreme Court.
Only thing I can think of is liking to have a lot of holidays.
I’m from a Germanic colony, I fit much more their stereotypes.
A joke here in Brazil:
How does an Argentinian commit suicide? They climb on their ego and jump.
We love our hermanos 😁😁
The original reason for it is not even valid anymore (church losing land due to the priests’ children inheriting it).
Knowing Portuguese and going by its being descended from Latin, the scientific name for the tree is “stinky manure”?

My state is a large poultry exporter, and neighbors the one with the outbreak, weird that this isn’t on the news here.
Companies talk about lesser earnings as losses all the time.
It’s 30 days, but weekends count. Recently the law was amended to disallow scheduling vacations to start on a Friday because of that. It can be taken in full, or 15+15, or 10+20, or 10+10+10.
Brazil.
30 days + a lot of holidays.
At least 2 years for sickness if I’m not mistaken.
