Paraguay impeaches President Peña amid Brazil spying and cannon disputes

g1.globo.com (Portuguese) — November 7, 2026 at 07:01 AM UTC

Paraguay's Senate unanimously approved the impeachment of President Santiago Peña on Friday, November 6, removing him from office amid a political crisis triggered by the closure of the digital bank ueno. During his three years in power, Peña faced two notable diplomatic tensions with Brazil: a Brazilian intelligence operation hacking Paraguayan systems, and President Lula's remarks on the Paraguayan War, which reignited a dispute over a cannon taken by Brazil. The hacking operation, revealed in March 2025, targeted Paraguayan authorities to obtain information on Itaipu dam tariff negotiations. In July 2026, Lula's comments on the war prompted Paraguay to protest and request the return of the El Cristiano cannon, a 12-ton artifact displayed in Rio de Janeiro.
