Pedro Aliana was sworn in as Paraguay's new president before Congress on November 6, following the impeachment and removal of Santiago Peña. Aliana will complete the presidential term until August 2028. Aliana, 52, is a leader of the ruling Colorado Party and previously served as vice president since August 2023. His ascent follows a political crisis triggered by the closure of Ueno Bank, which had received millions in public deposits. Congress designated Senator Antonio Carlos Barrios Fernández as the new vice president. In his inaugural speech, Aliana promised compensation for savers affected by the banking crisis and instructed ministers to avoid non-essential foreign travel.
