Haftbefehl erlassen: Staatskrise in Paraguay: Peña als Präsident abgesetzt
Während einer turbulenten Finanz- und Staatskrise tauscht Paraguay den Präsidenten aus. Wenig später wird gegen den bisherigen Staatschef Haftbefehl erlassen. Ist er in den Skandal verwickelt?
Paraguay is currently experiencing a financial and governmental crisis, which led to the removal of President Santiago Peña from office. The Senate unanimously voted for Peña's impeachment following the lower house's decision. Peña is accused of involvement in the ongoing bank scandal. His successor, former Vice President Pedro Alliana, was sworn in shortly after Peña's removal from Congress.
For now, Alliana will oversee Paraguay's economic and political future until August 2028. Meanwhile, Peña is under house arrest, awaiting his trial for economic crimes and corruption. The general prosecutor also issued arrest warrants for Central Bank chief Carlos Carvallo and other high-ranking officials involved in the bank scandal. Alliana, a 52-year-old conservative, is known for his economic liberal policies.
