Paraguay President Peña Resigns Amid Bank Seizure Crisis

A presidential resignation forced by a bank seizure is the kind of event that turns a localized financial failure into a sovereign-level political shock, and it puts Paraguay's institutional stability under scrutiny at a moment when the banking sector's health is already in question. The reference to avoiding impeachment signals that the pressure came from the political system as much as from the bank failure itself, which matters for how credible any successor arrangement will look. Whether the resignation actually contains the crisis, or merely shifts it to the next officeholder, is the open question worth watching.
