Paraguayan President promises to go to political trial for ties to failed Ueno bank

Paraguayan President Santiago Peña will defend himself in a political trial linked to the failed Ueno bank. He pledged full cooperation with authorities to clarify the situation and ensure accountability. Despite the political crisis, Peña remains in office as legislators failed to achieve quorum for a vote on his impeachment. The Ueno bank's insolvency has frozen funds for many Paraguayans, prompting Peña to emphasize that solutions for affected families should not depend on his political fate. The Senate will proceed with the trial, which follows a unanimous decision by the Chamber of Deputies to accuse him, marking a significant moment in Paraguayan political history.
