Paraguayans BURN Ousted President Pena's Image, Turn Anger Towards Successor

The New York Post's report moves from a burning image of Santiago Peña to crowds demanding more than a change of president. Outside the ousted leader's home in Asunción, demonstrators face police barriers; elsewhere, Paraguayan flags rise above a daylight march.

The report places the protests in the aftermath of digital bank ueno's collapse and Peña's impeachment. According to the Post, Peña was placed under house arrest while prosecutors determine potential charges connected to the failed bank. The footage shows protesters celebrating his removal, but not treating it as a resolution.

Pedro Alliana, his successor, becomes a target of the chants too. Demonstrators carry signs attacking the Colorado Party, which has dominated Paraguay's presidency for decades apart from an interruption between 2008 and 2013. One sign, translated in the report, says the worst Colorado president is always the next one. It makes the protesters' objection explicit: replacing the person at the top has not answered their complaints about the political leadership.

The upload drew about 256,000 views in its first 13 hours, already far beyond the Post's usual first-day audience for Shorts. Its closing images return to police standing behind metal barriers outside Peña's residence.
