Peña says he will face his impeachment trial as Argentina denies he has entered the country

Paraguayan President Santiago Peña announced on Thursday night that he will appear before the Senate to defend himself in the impeachment trial against him, after Congress failed for lack of a quorum to consider the resignation he had tendered hours earlier, leaving him formally in office. Argentina’s government, meanwhile, denied any record of Peña entering Argentina, following reports that he might have left Paraguay.
