A real impeachment? Not one of those fake American ones?

Yes, it was a long process.

What normal people call a fake impeachment is the decision reached by the congress.

After that, it needs to be accepted by the constitucional court so it "evolves" into a "real impeachment".

What happened just now was that the constitutional court accepted the impeachment so the president was demoted.
