President Santiago Peña resigned amid a financial crisis triggered by a scandal involving Ueno Bank. He announced his departure during a turbulent night in Asunción and is scheduled to appear before Congress on Friday at 10 a.m. to address the situation. Earlier in the day, members of the Paraguayan Chamber of Deputies approved a motion of impeachment against Peña. The capital experienced heightened tension as citizens expressed their demands for accountability. The report is based on statements from EFE and photographer Juan Pablo Pino.
