Paraguay, Alliana takes the hard line and thanks the United States

The president of Paraguay, Pedro Alliana, has outlined his government's priorities following the dismissal of Santiago Peña. Through social media he thanked Washington, confirming the strategic alliance: "I thank the United States government for its solidarity with Paraguay in times of great challenges for our nation."

On the domestic front, the head of state ordered the deployment of the armed forces to assist families affected by the floods in the south of the country. Regarding former president Peña, in precautionary custody in a military unit for the collapse of Ueno Bank, Alliana guaranteed an iron fist: "I have ordered the Minister of Justice to strictly enforce the law. No defendant will have privileges."

In the meantime, the rescue of savers of the failed bank continues. Early reimbursements have already reached 160 million dollars for 1,196,000 people, while the guarantee fund will cover up to 38,600 dollars per person. The new president concluded by reiterating his commitment to safety and public health: "My priority is to give answers to Paraguayans. Fewer words and more results".
