巴拉圭总统圣地亚哥·佩尼亚因本国金融危机而辞职,不会影响阿松松与台北的外交关系或合作,台湾外交部昨日表示。

台湾和巴拉圭在旨在改善人民生活的项目上保持密切合作,政治发展不会影响双边关系或这些项目的实施,外交部表示。

台湾将继续深化互利合作,以巩固两个民主盟友之间长期的关系,外交部补充道。

佩尼亚在5月访问台湾期间重申了巴拉圭与台湾的外交关系。他在2023年赢得巴拉圭总统选举后,承诺深化与台湾的关系。

是否应维持与台湾的外交关系曾是巴拉圭大选中的一个主要议题。

佩尼亚在银行倒闭后于周四在X上宣布辞职,几分钟后,下院一致投票弹劾他。

两院都拒绝接受佩尼亚的辞职提议,巴拉圭参议院决定继续进行审判,该审判可能导致总统被免职。

路透社报道,巴拉圭副总统佩德罗·阿利亚纳将接替他。

反对派参议员继续要求佩尼亚被免职。

巴拉圭总检察长埃米利亚诺·罗隆·费尔南德斯已下令对乌埃诺银行危机展开三项刑事调查,包括涉及佩尼亚及其他现任和前任政府官员的指控。

佩尼亚表示他将配合调查人员。

“无论这一过程的结果如何,我都将负责任地行事并尊重宪法,”他在X上表示。

佩尼亚直到去年仍持有一家与乌埃诺相关联公司的股份,他表示懊悔,但未接受对动荡的责任,这场动荡已使数百万储户、退休人员和工人为追回其冻结的储蓄和未付工资而苦苦挣扎。

“如果我在任何时候辜负了人民,我向人民道歉,”他说。“我从未有意背叛他们对我的信任。”

佩尼亚昨日请求额外三天时间准备弹劾。

他说,前一天晚上他收到一份约15页、附有约300页附录的起诉书,并补充道:“这不是正当程序。”
