Paraguay President Resigns Amid Ueno Bank Collapse and Impeachment Proceedings

Analysed 5 Nov 2026·23 sources analysed·Ueno, Japan·Politics
Paraguay President Resigns Amid Ueno Bank Collapse and Impeachment ProceedingsPreviousNext

Paraguay's President Santiago Peña resigned amid a political crisis triggered by the collapse of digital lender Ueno Bank, which left nearly three million customers unable to access their accounts. The central bank intervened after Ueno breached solvency requirements, exposing alleged conflicts of interest linked to Peña's former business ties to the bank's controlling group. Opposition lawmakers filed impeachment articles accusing Peña of misconduct, leading to a unanimous lower house vote to impeach him shortly after his resignation. Vice President Pedro Alliana is expected to succeed Peña as protests and investigations continue.
