Paraguay’s President Santiago Peña asks for additional time to prepare his defence after being summoned to appear before the Senate regarding impeachment proceedings. The request is linked to the timing of his appearance, which is set for Friday at 10 a.m., and Peña says he has not received enough time to prepare properly.
Across outlets, the emphasis differs slightly. The Buenos Aires Herald highlights the scheduled Senate summoning and Peña’s claim that the timeframe does not allow adequate preparation. The Hindu focuses on Pena’s specific request for a 72-hour extension and the fact that he says he was served with a 15-page indictment. Both accounts describe the same immediate procedural issue: the President’s preparation period for responding to the impeachment charges before the Senate.
