Story summary

Santiago Peña, Paraguay's president, resigned on November 5, 2026, following the collapse of Ueno Bank, which left millions unable to access their savings. The bank held over $800 million in public deposits and froze accounts for about three million people, leading to widespread protests across the country. Although Peña's resignation was intended to protect democratic stability, the Paraguayan Congress moved forward with impeachment proceedings against him. On November 6, lawmakers voted unanimously to impeach Peña, further deepening the political crisis in Paraguay.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
