Paraguay places ousted president Peña under house arrest after bank collapse

Paraguayan authorities placed ousted president Santiago Peña under house arrest on Friday, shortly after the Senate unanimously removed him from office over a massive banking crisis that locked nearly half of Paraguayans out of their savings.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the resignation of Paraguay’s president and the bank collapse that froze accounts, with both naming Santiago Peña in the lead. The Washington Post frames the story around rising public anger after the collapse of a bank connected to Peña, while The Guardian US adds the detail, in its own extract only, that his administration had authorised Ueno Bank to expand before the collapse and describes the crisis as having collapsed the banking system in recent days.
