Argentina coach Scaloni on social unrest in Peru ahead of WCup Qualifier in Lima

Argentina is travelling to Lima this Monday to face Peru at the World Cup Qualifiers amid a social unrest in the country.

The country's legislators ignited a storm of protest by removing President Martin Vizcarra, an anti-corruption crusader highly popular among Peruvians.

The Latin American nation's political turmoil took a chaotic turn Sunday when interim leader Manuel Merino quit and Congress couldn't decide on his replacement.

Amidst all of that, a World Cup Qualifier is planned to be held on Tuesday when Peru host Lionel Messi and Argentina squad.

The Peruvian FA and CONMEBOL give security guarantees that the game will be held.

The country's Congress chose a new leader Monday expected to become the nation's third president in the span of a week, a hopeful sign that the political crisis is on the verge of resolution.

Lawmakers voted overwhelmingly in favor of Francisco Sagasti, an engineer from the centrist Purple Party, as the legislature's new president.

The 76-year-old hails from a political party that voted against the ouster of President Martin Vizcarra, which is likely to quell protests.
