[Paraguay’s Congress refuses to postpone impeachment proceedings for the president] November 7, 2020 The Paraguayan Senate rejected President Peña Nieto’s request to postpone his self-defense in Congress for 72 hours on the 6th, and continued to advance the presidential impeachment proceedings as previously planned. Peña Nieto submitted his resignation on the 5th to avoid impeachment due to the crisis caused by the seizure of Banco Weno, the country's largest digital bank, but his resignation was not approved because the number of votes in Congress did not reach the quorum. Congress immediately launched impeachment proceedings against him. According to procedures, Peña Nieto himself should go to Congress to defend himself on the morning of the 6th. (CCTV News)
