[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection) Dear fellow citizens, today I address you at one of the most difficult moments of my life, with my heart set on Paraguay and with the conviction that our Republic must always stand above any person or circumstance.

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=16) History will judge and put the events we are living through into their proper perspective.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=23) I have made the decision to submit my resignation as President of the Republic.

[0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=28) I do so with our country's stability in mind, social peace, and the need to preserve our democratic institutions.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=36) I do so with absolute respect for our National Constitution and the institutional and democratic mechanisms we have established as a nation.

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=45) I am convinced that no office can to put the well-being of Paraguay first.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=50) I also want to apologize to the people if I have ever let you down.

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=55) It was never my intention to betray the trust you placed in me.

[1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=60) Every day, I took on this responsibility with the will to work for Paraguay.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=65) But today, I have just one priority: the peace of mind of Paraguayans who entrusted their savings to our financial system.

[1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=74) Behind every deposit are years of hard work, sacrifice, and family plans.

[1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=80) My greatest wish is for the return of those funds to be guaranteed, for the Deposit Guarantee Fund to fulfill its purpose and for public funds to be protected along with the resources that belong to all Paraguayans.

[1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=93) Dear fellow citizens, we are a country that has endured very difficult times. and has always known how to rise again.

[1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=101) I deeply trust in the strength of our people and in our institutions’ ability to overcome this situation.

[1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=109) Today, we must show once again that democracy is respected, that institutions are protected and that Paraguay stands above our differences.

[2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=121) No office is more important than the stability of the Republic.

[2:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=125) No one stands above Paraguay. I am grateful for your trust, for every moment we shared and for giving me the honor of serving this great nation.

[2:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Cr752c86BVRJ/en/paraguayan-president-announces-resignation-and-calls-for-depositor-protection?t=135) May God bless every Paraguayan family and may God bless Paraguay.
