Paraguay's president impeached and under house arrest after bank collapse

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 5 November 2026 and 7 November 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Santiago Peña was ousted due to a banking crisis which left millions of people unable to access their money.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the Ueno collapse as a banking and political crisis tied to President Santiago Pena, and both mention questions around his links to the bank’s parent company or government ties. South China Morning Post alone frames the story as an impeachment and house arrest, saying Pena was removed from office and placed under house arrest, while Al Jazeera uses two explainer-style pieces that focus more on the wider crisis and accountability than on any formal removal.
