The Paraguayans were born on Saturday November 7 with a new head of state. This is Pedro Alliana, who took office, after the right-wing journalist Santiago Peña was dismissed by the Senate in a political trial - and subsequently put under house arrest - for his alleged involvement in the collapse of Ueno Bank. The bank crisis initially left about three million people, half the country's population, without access to their money.
