Pedro Alliana Becomes Paraguay's President Amid Banking Crisis
Pedro Alliana, former vice president and ex-national basketball player, assumed Paraguay's presidency after Santiago Pena was impeached due to a banking crisis that locked nearly half the population out of their accounts. Alliana, a businessman and Colorado Party member, took office on Friday and will serve until 2028. Born in Pilar in 1974, he rose in politics with support from ex-president Horacio Cartes.
