Paraguay's President Santiago Peña has been impeached as a severe financial crisis unfolds in the country. The political turmoil follows the collapse of a digital bank, which left millions of people unable to access their money.

Paraguay has moved forward with impeachment proceedings against President Santiago Peña, leading to his ouster amid mounting political turmoil. The crisis was triggered by the failure of a digital bank that left a massive portion of the population unable to reach their funds.

Reports differ on the exact scale of the affected population, with some sources stating that millions of people are locked out of their accounts, while others indicate that the financial disruption has left half the country without access to their money.

The banking collapse created immense pressure on the government, culminating in the decision to impeach the president as the financial crisis continues to deepen across the nation.
