巴拉圭新任總統佩德羅・阿利亞納是誰？

亞松森，11月7日（路透社）——巴拉圭參議院彈劾並免除聖地牙哥・培尼亞（Santiago Peña）職務後，副總統佩德羅・阿利亞納（Pedro Alliana）接任總統；這場銀行危機引發重大政治反彈。ASUNCION, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Paraguay's Vice President Pedro Alliana became president after the country's Senate impeached and removed Santiago Peña amid a banking crisis that triggered major political backlash.

在數位貸款機構ueno倒閉後，數百萬名客戶無法登入帳戶，國會議員將責任歸咎於培尼亞，使他失去執政保守派紅黨（Colorado Party）高層人物的支持。Peña lost the support of senior figures in the governing conservative Colorado Party after lawmakers blamed him for the collapse of digital lender ueno, which left millions of customers unable to access their accounts.

52歲的阿利亞納將完成培尼亞剩餘任期，至2028年8月為止。Alliana, 52, will serve out the remainder of Peña's term through August 2028.

阿利亞納長期擔任紅黨領袖，原本希望以2028年參選總統，作為數十年政治活動的最高點，如今提前兩年達成目標。A longtime Colorado Party leader who had hoped to cap decades of political activism with a presidential run in 2028, Alliana achieved his goal two years early.

他一直效忠培尼亞，直到週一宣布暫停參加該黨12月初選，讓政府先處理國內金融動盪。He remained loyal to Peña until Monday, when he announced he was suspending his bid for the party's December primary elections while the government addressed the country's financial turmoil.

阿利亞納週一告訴記者：「我想成為共和國總統。我認為我有能力、有知識，也有想法。」"I want to be president of the Republic," Alliana told reporters on Monday. "I think I have the capacity, I have the knowledge, I have the ideas."

他在同一場露面中表示，不願為他人犯下的錯誤承擔責任。隨著培尼亞因處理ueno相關危機承受的壓力升高，外界普遍認為，阿利亞納此舉顯示他與培尼亞的距離愈來愈遠。培尼亞曾是擁有這家貸款機構的集團商業夥伴，直到2025年3月為止。In the same appearance, he said he was unwilling to take responsibility for mistakes made by others. The move was widely seen as a sign of growing distance from Peña as pressure mounted on the president over his handling of the crisis surrounding ueno. Peña had been a business partner in the group that owned the lender until March 2025.

阿利亞納曾擔任紅黨主席7年。紅黨在過去80年大部分時間主政巴拉圭，而阿利亞納則與前總統奧拉西歐・卡特斯（Horacio Cartes）一同在政壇逐步攀升。For seven years, Alliana served as president of the Colorado Party, which has governed Paraguay for most of the last eight decades, and climbed the political ranks alongside former President Horacio Cartes.

Verisk Maplecroft美洲首席分析師馬里亞諾・馬查多（Mariano Machado）表示：「阿利亞納總統任內意味著政策延續、仰賴卡特斯，以及薄弱的執政授權。培尼亞下台，等於巴拉圭投資論述的主要倡議者離開。預料正統總體經濟政策將持續，但在2028年選舉前，用於政治分肥的支出壓力會增加。」"An Alliana presidency means policy continuity, dependence on Cartes and a weak mandate," said Mariano Machado, Americas principal analyst at Verisk Maplecroft. "Peña’s exit removes the main advocate of Paraguay’s investment case. Expect orthodox macroeconomic policy to continue, but with greater pressure for spending on patronage ahead of the 2028 elections."

阿利亞納曾強調巴拉圭與美國關係密切，去年8月接受Infobae訪問時表示，川普政府的「美洲之盾」（Shield of the Americas）區域安全倡議將讓巴拉圭能更有效打擊組織犯罪。Alliana has touted the close relationship between Paraguay and the United States, telling Infobae in an interview last August that the Trump administration's Shield of the Americas regional security initiative will allow Paraguay to better combat organized crime.

他也堅定支持巴拉圭挺台立場；台灣是僅有12個與該島維持正式外交關係的國家之一。他同時支持以色列。He has also firmly backed Paraguay's support for Taiwan, one of only 12 countries that maintain formal diplomatic ties with the island, as well as Israel.

這場政治危機起因於外界質疑主要貸款機構ueno所受監理，並在本週稍早引發亞松森街頭抗議。這起風波也迫使巴拉圭央行總裁週二辭職。The political crisis was triggered by questions over the supervision of major lender ueno and sparked street protests in Asunción earlier this week. The fallout also forced the resignation of Paraguay's central bank chief on Tuesday.

阿利亞納在2023年成為副總統前，曾在眾議院任職10年，代表南部涅恩布庫省（Ñeembucú）。他出生於當地，政治生涯早期也曾擔任當地省長。他被視為一名低調政治人物，與紅黨建制派關係深厚。Before becoming vice president in 2023, Alliana spent a decade in the Chamber of Deputies representing the southern department of Ñeembucú, where he was born and where he also served as governor early in his political career. He is considered a reserved politician with deep ties to the Colorado Party establishment.
