Paraguayan President Santiago Peña has left office after a severe banking crisis paralyzed the nation's financial system and prevented millions of customers from accessing their savings. At the core of the turmoil is Ueno Bank, a digital lender whose rapid expansion had been sanctioned during Peña's administration.
The president faced mounting pressure and scrutiny over his past links to the parent firm of Ueno Bank. The political fallout culminated in the lower house of congress voting in favor of launching an impeachment trial against him, prompting his resignation on Thursday.
