Lugo wasn’t ousted just because of a bloody land eviction. He was ousted because his most important ally, the Liberal Party, simply pulled
back its political support and then, in less than 48 hours, Lugo himself was
"evicted" from the Chair of Lopez.
Taking some perspective on the subject.
After the aforementioned land eviction, Lugo made two
strongly criticized designations.
First, he appointed the former General Attorney (from the
Colorado Party) as Ministry of Interior. Secondly, he appointed the very police
officer, who was in charge of the also aforementioned bloody land eviction, as
chief of the National Police.
Inmediately, the Liberal Party protested and demanded that a
liberal politician should have been appointed as Ministry of the Interior and
the liberals also demanded the head of the chief of police.
Lugo’s reply was a typical one, as he used to do since he arrived into office. Publicly, he said that, before granting his allies' demands, he would wait and see the performance of his new cabinet member and of his new Chief of Police. The message for the liberals wasn’t new. Lugo humiliated the liberals over and over again along the last four years.
But for the liberals, Lugo's public speech was the drop that
filled their glass with the royal piss. Inmediately, the political national
board of liberal leaders summoned an “urgent” meeting and the outcome was the
total withdrawal of political support to Lugo.
The
rest is history. In less than 48 hours, Lugo's adversaries took advantage of the situation and achieved what they were looking for since the very first minute the former bishop set foot on Lopez's Palace.
Then, the bishop of the poors left through the "front door", but kicked in his arse. His pending suspicions of paedophilia, links with the wannabe terrorist group EPP (Paraguayan's People Army) and a rosary of irregularities (e.g., nepotism) were never investigated by the authorities.
