El presidente de Paraguay, Santiago Peña, renunció el 2 de noviembre tras la toma del banco fintech Ueno por parte del Banco Central, lo que congeló los ahorros de millones y desencadenó protestas y procesos de impeachment en Asunción, según fuentes oficiales. La renuncia se produjo tras una semana de crisis que comenzó el 2 de noviembre, cuando el Banco Central puso a Ueno en resolución después de que su ratio de capital cayera por debajo del límite legal, afectando a clientes y fondos de pensiones públicos, según autoridades. El director del banco central, Carlos Carvallo, también dimitió, y legisladores y manifestantes exigieron el impeachment del presidente.
