Santiago Peña’s fall follows Ueno Bank collapse and Paraguay’s political crisis

Shows report that Santiago Peña resigned or attempted to resign after Ueno Bank collapsed, leaving millions unable to access savings and triggering protests and impeachment proceedings.[1][2][3]

Global News Podcast says Santiago Peña was impeached, arrested and charged over an alleged banking scandal, while he denies wrongdoing and faces pretrial detention.[4]

Democracy Now! Audio links Santiago Peña’s impeachment and criminal charges to Ueno Bank’s collapse, saying Pedro Aliana became interim president while Peña remained under house arrest.[5]

The President’s Daily Brief says prosecutors allege Santiago Peña used his office to keep public money at Ueno despite his shares, while Peña pleaded not guilty and called the matter regulatory.[6][7]

Behind the Bastards instead describes Santiago Peña as having resigned after protests, blaming his banking-linked political network for the economic collapse and calling the unrest a broader model of uprising.[8][9]
