Paraguayan President Pedro Alliana on Monday called for the resignation of all ministers and senior officials, launching a major reshuffle after Santiago Peña's removal. The reshuffle follows the collapse of Ueno Bank, which temporarily deprived nearly three million people of access to their funds, according to SeneNews.

Paraguayan President Pedro Alliana on Monday called for the resignation of all ministers and senior officials in the country as part of a government reshuffle. He wants to strengthen executive coordination and improve its efficiency, he explained in a message on X, according to AFP.

Pedro Alliana, who took office on Friday after Santiago Peña was removed, also wants to attract investors around the new directions of his government.

The resignation request comes after Pedro Alliana took office as president of Paraguay on 7 November, and Santiago Peña's removal, announced on 8 November.
