A note on Paraguay: we aren’t just mad because we can’t access our money (although that in itself is awful), but because said bank went bankrupt because they used PUBLIC FUNDS to give out GIGANTIC loans to people connected to the president

🔴🇵🇾 Le président d’extrême droite du Paraguay DÉMISSIONNE Deux jours après l'effondrement du système bancaire, de manifestations populaires et de menace de destitution parlementaire, Santiago Peña renonce à la présidence. Explications 👇 Le Paraguay est présenté comme un pays économiquement « stable » et dirigé par des « responsables ». Sauf que mardi dernier, la banque Ueno Bank -la plus grande en clientèle du pays- est déclarée en faillite par la Banque centrale du Paraguay (BCP). 👉 3 millions de Paraguayens (60% de la population adulte) n’ont plus accès à leurs fonds. 👉 Le système de retraites public/privé est aussi impacté. L’État -géré par le président d’extrême droite- avait délégué l'administration de 850 millions de dollars de fonds publics à Ueno Bank, dont 355 millions pour les pensions de retraites. 32.000 retraités recevaient directement leur pension de cette banque. Le président Peña a lui-même été actionnaire de la banque Ueno et a participé à son ascension au niveau national. Au lendemain de son arrivée au pouvoir en 2023, il a nommé à la tête de la Banque centrale son ami et ex-directeur d’Ueno, Carlos Carvallo Spalding. Santiago Peña démissionne dans l'espoir de sauver sa peau. Il échange son immunité présidentielle contre une immunité sénatoriale car, oui, au Paraguay un président démissionnaire devient sénateur à vie (comme Pinochet). Et le procès public qui s'ouvrait contre lui devra maintenant nécessiter l'approbation des deux tiers du Sénat pour rompre sa nouvelle immunité. Peu importe le « détail », au moins l’Amérique latine et le monde se débarrassent d’un président néof*sciste en moins, ami de Milei et Trump, nostalgique de la dictature. Bravo le Paraguay !

#kotekòbpetwokaribe | Plis pase sèt lane apre gwo mobilizasyon ki te mande pou responsab yo rann kont sou lajan PetroCaribe a, dosye a toujou pa jwenn yon bout devan lajistis. Nan yon kontèks kote kesyon sou jesyon lajan piblik ak koripsyon kontinye poze, AyiboPost retounen sou rapò odit la pou ede w konprann sa ki te pase ak lajan sa a. [ Redifizyon ]

Depi 2018, plis pase 70 masak fè prèske 3 000 moun mouri oswa disparèt. Dèyè chak chif, gen yon non, yon manman, yon pitit, yon kay ki boule. Rapò yo site moun ki dèyè masak sa yo. 4 rapò pibliye. Zewo pwosè. Jodi a, plizyè moun ki sanksyone pou trafik dwòg oswa finansman gang, mete bèl vès yo pou vin mande w vòt ou. Ou wè sa fè sans? Vòt ou se dènye baryè a. Anvan w bay li, chache konnen kiyès k ap finanse kandida a, ki lyen li genyen ak gang, epi kisa l ap fè pou viktim yo jwenn jistis. Li dènye enfolèt nou an #18, epi pataje l. 📩 shorturl.at/h7h1P #SitwayenPaDòmi

Heureux d’annoncer le dépôt au CEP des pièces requises pour officialiser ma candidature au Sénat pour le département de l’Ouest, sous la bannière d’« En avant pour Haïti ». Je continuerai à lutter contre la corruption et l’impunité. Votre combat est mon combat !

Santiago Peña has been a prominent cheerleader of Trump's intervention in Latin America. He was one of the few foreign leaders to attend Trump's inauguration. He also attended the first meeting of the dystopian "Board of Peace." It was at the latter where Trump said this when introducing the 47-year old Peña: "It's always nice to be young and handsome. Doesn't mean we have to like you. I don't like young handsome men. Women, it's a like. Men, I don't have any interest." nitter.cf/laurieablair/status/21…
LATEST for @theparaguaypost After Ueno Bank Goes Under, Paraguay’s President Peña Faces Impeachment Paraguay is facing its worst crisis in years after the dramatic collapse of ueno bank — a digital lender with nearly 3m clients and some $850m in public deposits — locked half the population from their accounts and left businesses, workers, and pensioners reeling. Hundreds of protesters gathered for the second night running outside Congress chanting “We want our money” and “Santi to Tacumbú,” referring to the president, Santiago Peña, and the notorious Asunción jail. Peña held shares in ueno holding, a sister company of the bank, until last year. theparaguaypost.com/p/ueno-b…

This is pure gold! Abdul El-Sayed trolling Trump and JD Vance after winning Michigan’s Senate race: “JD, habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in, in January.” “Donald, look, I know you struggle with my name, so after JD swears me in, you can just go on and call me Senator.”

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face. These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first. We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy. While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.
