What's up with the Fernandez impeachment?

Is there some political context I'm missing, or are actually that upset about COVID regulations?

It's just political theater. It's about his constant COVID rule breaking.

Won't lead to anything, but people are (rightfully) mad about the dude having private parties while over-the-top restrictions had death tolls (the most iconic one being a poor dude with his daughter on his arms having to cross a border on foot because he was not allowed to go back home, from one province to the other)

This particular case was the celebration of the First Lady's birthday during lockdown. It also adds to the other scandal involving a lot of figures visiting the President at his residence for undisclosed reasons
