Paraguay's President Santiago Peña resigns under threat of impeachment
Paraguayan President Santiago Peña announced his resignation on November 5, shortly before an impeachment vote in Congress linked to the collapse of Ueno Bank. The Central Bank had ordered the dissolution of the institution on Tuesday after its solvency fell below 50% of the required minimum, freezing the deposits of nearly three million savers. The opposition had accused Peña of shareholding ties to the group. Vice President Pedro Alliana will lead the government following the formal acceptance of the resignation. Prosecutors have requested the arrest of at least 8 people linked to the bank, according to Infobae and ABC Color.
