Paraguay’s Peña Submits Resignation as Lawmakers Back Impeachment

Peña submitted his resignation as Paraguayan lawmakers approved impeachment proceedings with 78 votes, deepening a political crisis unfolding alongside Ueno Bank’s initial depositor payout process. The resignation submission is Peña’s action, while approval of impeachment proceedings is the legislature’s. Together, those steps put his position at the center of the political crisis. The 78-vote tally marks lawmakers’ support for moving the impeachment process forward. Paraguay’s central bank has outlined an initial payout group for Ueno depositors. The group represents the first depositors included in the payout plan. That is the banking development accompanying the political moves.
