## Key points

- A “Tax The Poor” shirt worn by Constanza Peña went viral.
- The backlash came as Ueno Bank customers struggled to access funds.
- Paraguay’s Senate removed her father, Santiago Peña, from office.

## Summary

Constanza Peña, the 21-year-old daughter of Paraguay’s former president, drew criticism after a photo showed her wearing a “Tax The Poor” T-shirt. The image spread online amid a financial crisis in Paraguay and anger over the collapse of Ueno Bank, whose customers have been unable to access their money.

The article says the photo’s original posting date could not be confirmed and Peña’s Instagram account is now private. Nearly three million Ueno customers were affected; deposit insurance covers at least 97% of depositors up to 223 million guaraníes, about $38,000, while the central bank said clients would receive up to 10 million guaraníes, about $1,700, less any debts. Congress rejected President Santiago Peña’s resignation, voted to impeach him and proceeded with a trial; the Senate later removed him, and Vice President Pedro Alliana took office.
