According to MercoPress, thousands of people in Asunción celebrated on Friday after the Senate removed President Santiago Peña from office. The celebration was short-lived, MercoPress reported, as anger quickly rose among those seeking a complete change of government. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside Congress chanting "Out with them all," MercoPress reported, as Vice President Pedro Alliana was sworn in as the new head of state.
