Santiago Peña unanimously removed from the presidency of Paraguay after an exhausting day of political psychodrama

Santiago Peña, the president of Paraguay, was ousted amid a political crisis fueled by his own party's betrayal. The Colorado Party, which has dominated Paraguayan politics, turned against him due to his attempts to distance himself from its influence. Accusations of financial misconduct related to a failing bank contributed to his downfall. Despite Peña's efforts to defend himself, he ultimately resigned, but Congress rejected his resignation and proceeded with impeachment. His political demise reflects the ongoing instability in Paraguay's governance, marked by historical patterns of political upheaval.
