November 5, a square in Paraguay.
People waved flags and watched a video of President Santiago Peña announcing his resignation.
Some in the squares and streets expressed anger and frustration.
This came as Ueno Bank, used by 60 percent of Paraguay's adult population, suspended operations due to insolvency, freezing the accounts of 3 million people.
Shortly after taking office, the president appointed Carlos Carvalho, then the head of Ueno Bank, as the governor of the central bank, and more than 800 million dollars in government funds subsequently flowed into Ueno Bank.
Although the president announced his resignation, it was not accepted, and the Chamber of Deputies unanimously passed an impeachment motion on the same day.
Why did the lower house pass an impeachment motion against a president who already said he would step down?
And what is hidden behind the relationship between the bank and the president?
