  "account": "The parliament of Paraguay has voted to impeach President Santiago Peña, with the Senate voting unanimously to remove him from office. Peña has been charged with involvement in a banking scandal and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. He has been replaced by Vice President Pedro Alliana, who has been sworn in as the new president until August 2028. The country's banking crisis has led to widespread concerns about people's savings, particularly with the Ueno Bank being declared effectively insolvent.",
  "summary": "During a turbulent financial and state crisis, Paraguay is changing its president. Shortly afterwards, an arrest warrant is issued against the previous head of state. Is he involved in the scandal?",
