In the Paraguayan capital, Escondido, protesters clashed with police amid congressional consideration of President Santiago Pina's resignation. This was reported in ABC Color newspaper. According to the publication, the protesters tried to break through the police cordon near the National Congress building. During this period, the parliamentarians discussed the resignation of the head of state, which he announced earlier on Thursday. However, the disputes failed to gather the necessary status to make a decision. As a result, Payne officially retained the presidency. The reason for the protest was the situation surrounding Ono Bank. On Tuesday, Paraguay's central bank began the process of settling the financial institution's position after finding that its exemption ratio had fallen below half of the minimum set. The controllers of Ono Bank took to the streets demanding their money back and brought the attackers to justice. They also demanded the resignation of the president.
