And especially that the politicians from his party managed to (after some time, convincing and protests, but still) overcome their affiliation and personal political interests to impeach the president.

Some of that may be self-interest given that the President tried to imprison the heads of his own party during his attempted coup. The army deserves at least some praise for refusing to escalate the situation and ignoring orders to invade their own parliament.

Sadly very few politicians from his party voted for impeachment (although more than zero). Goes to show how if only his party had 15 more members he might not be getting impeached.
