Paraguay's President Santiago Peña impeached and arrested

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

All three outlets centre on Peña’s resignation and connect it to the bank collapse, with Reuters and the BBC also mentioning congressional action around his departure. South China Morning Post is the only outlet to foreground the digital lender Ueno and the detail that millions of customers could not access their accounts. Reuters frames the story as a live congressional session after the resignation, while the BBC emphasises the lower house’s vote to pursue impeachment.
