巴拉圭的政治危机周三进一步加深，反对派议员推进弹劾总统圣地亚哥·佩尼亚的行动，他们指责佩尼亚应对数字贷款机构 ueno 倒闭引发的危机负责，该事件导致数百万客户无法访问其账户。
Paraguay's political crisis deepened on Wednesday as opposition lawmakers pressed ahead with efforts to impeach President Santiago Pena, whom they blame for the crisis triggered by the collapse of digital lender ueno that left millions of customers unable to access their accounts.
周三，35 名议员在拥有 80 个席位的众议院提交了弹劾条款，并要求国会领导人于周四召开特别会议，辩论佩尼亚的去留。
Thirty-five lawmakers submitted impeachment articles in the 80-seat lower house on Wednesday and asked congressional leaders to convene an extraordinary session on Thursday to debate Pena's future.
反对派议员指控佩尼亚存在利益冲突、挪用养老金以及与该银行倒闭处理方式有关的制度性掩盖行为。佩尼亚尚未公开回应弹劾推动，总统府也没有立即回应置评请求。
Opposition lawmakers accuse Pena of conflicts of interest, misuse of pension funds and institutional cover-ups linked to the handling of the bank's collapse. Pena has not publicly addressed the impeachment push and the presidency did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
佩尼亚周三在社交媒体发文，敦促政治领袖优先考虑存款人的利益，并表示对违规行为负责的人将“毫无例外”地受到法律制裁。这位 2023 年就职的保守派经济学家，直到去年 3 月仍是 Grupo Vazquez 的股东，该集团控制着 ueno。Ueno 是一家数字贷款机构，从一个小众金融科技参与者迅速成长为一家中型银行，目前管理着近 8.5 亿美元的公共资金。
In a social media post on Wednesday, the president urged political leaders to prioritize the interests of depositors and said those responsible for irregularities would face justice "without exceptions." Pena, a conservative economist who took office in 2023, was a shareholder until March last year in Grupo Vazquez, which controls ueno. Ueno is a digital lender that grew quickly from a niche fintech player into a mid-tier bank, now administering close to $850 million in public funds.
巴拉圭中央银行在认定 ueno 违反最低偿付能力要求后进行了干预，引发了一场危机，导致该公司约 300 万客户（在一个拥有 650 万人口的国家）无法访问账户。
Paraguay's central bank intervened in ueno after determining that it had breached minimum solvency requirements, setting off a crisis that has left the company's roughly 3 million customers, in a country of 6.5 million people, unable to access accounts.
“巴拉圭共和国历史上从未有人在一天之内伤害 300 万人，而您做到了，总统先生，”反对派议员罗西奥·巴列霍在提交对佩尼亚的指控前，在国会会议上说道。
"Never before has anyone harmed 3 million people in a single day in the Republic of Paraguay, and you achieved it, Mr. President," opposition lawmaker Rocío Vallejo told a congressional session before presenting the accusation against Pena.
这场危机已成为对佩尼亚政府的严峻考验，动摇了巴拉圭来之不易的稳定外资目的地声誉，尤其是来自邻国巴西的投资。
The crisis has become a serious challenge to Pena's administration, undermining Paraguay's hard-won reputation as a stable destination for foreign investment, especially from neighboring Brazil.
连锁反应迫使央行行长于周二辞职，并导致八名 ueno 高管被拘留。检方于周二签发逮捕令，这些高管随后自首，随着调查范围扩大，法院下令冻结他们的资产。Ueno 就此事未发表任何公开声明，且未立即回应置评请求。
The fallout forced the resignation on Tuesday of the central bank chief and resulted in the detention of eight ueno executives. Prosecutors issued arrest warrants on Tuesday and the executives later turned themselves in, while courts ordered their assets frozen as the investigation widened. Ueno has made no public statement on the issue, and it did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
尽管巴拉圭反对派尚未达到推进弹劾程序所需的三分之二多数，但已获得执政党科罗拉多党数名异议议员的支持。
While Paraguay's opposition remains short of the two-thirds majority needed to advance impeachment proceedings, it has secured the backing of several dissident members of the ruling Colorado Party.
周三，多个银行应用程序出现故障，加剧了人们对巴拉圭金融体系信心的担忧。巴拉圭银行协会（Asoban）表示，各银行正努力吸纳从 ueno 转移账户的客户激增，并称银行体系“继续正常运行”。
Several banking apps experienced outages on Wednesday, adding to concerns about confidence in Paraguay's financial system. The Association of Banks of Paraguay (Asoban) said lenders were working to absorb a surge of customers shifting their accounts from ueno and said the banking system "continues to operate normally."
