translated from Spanish: Conmebol says Peru offers guarantees for party against Argentina despite political crisis

Peru’s security forces offered FIFA guarantees for the match against Argentina for the 2022 World Cup qualifier, despite the political crisis that shakes the Andean country, Conmebol said Monday.
The governing body of South American football reported that the Peruvian Football Federation sent a letter to FIFA in which the country’s Police Command ratified the guarantees to carry out the match for the fourth date of the tournament, scheduled for Tuesday at the Lima National Stadium.
“The FPF requested this ratification in response to political developments in Peru in recent days. The management was done before the Peruvian Institute of Sport and the Ministry of the Interior, under whose direction the National Police works,” Conmebol said in a statement.
Peru has faced a widespread wave of protests that left at least two dead, dozens injured and missing and forced the resignation of Acting President Manuel Merino, five days after taking office. Congress sought consensus to elect a successor.
The Peru national team will receive Argentina after their 2-0 away defeat to Chile on the third date of the qualifying tournament. Argentina, for its part, comes from a 1-1 draw against Paraguay in La Bombonera.
Lionel Messi’s team plans to travel monday afternoon to Lima, where authorities set up a security operation around the hotel that will host him in the Miraflores district.
“There is a permanent operation, 24 hours a day, so that the Argentine national team feels protected and give it all the security (…) is a permanent service since arriving in the country,” said the head of the operative, Daniel Tamasco, in statements broadcast on Argentine television.
