On Friday, June 22, the Paraguayan Senate voted in favor of removing President Fernando Lugo from office. Lawmakers brought President Lugo to an impeachment trial after 17 people died in a land dispute last week. Netizens followed the trial throughout the day, posting their impressions and reactions on Twitter using the hashtags #Lugo and #juiciopolítico (“political trial”). Others also used #apoyoaLugo (“I support Lugo”) to show their support for the President.
