Paraguayan President Santiago Peña announced his resignation on Thursday as lawmakers opened debate on his impeachment, according to Al Jazeera, BBC, Deutsche Welle and UPI. In a video address, he said he was stepping down to preserve stability and democratic institutions, and apologized to Paraguayans. The crisis followed the collapse of Ueno Bank, a digital lender whose operations froze during insolvency, leaving millions of customers without access to accounts. Lawmakers, including opposition members and ruling-party dissidents, had filed impeachment complaints against Peña and Vice President Pedro Alliana, accusing them of conflicts of interest and misuse of pension funds. Al Jazeera reports that Alliana is set to take office.
