Peverengo before today’s match: «We won’t answer violent calls» | OneFootball

Fernando Peverengo confirmed that he personally went before the MPA to report incidents that go beyond sports. According to the official, the straw that broke the camel’s back was not only the graffiti or the banner from the last match, but also a series of extortion messages received by a member of the board demanding «money and sportswear.» «When it comes to violence, we won’t even answer the phone», Peverengo said.

The sanction on the North stand: Is there a way back?

The issue keeping fans up at night is the «silence» of the Lower North terrace, now without drums or flags. Peverengo explained that the decision is already final, but left the door open to a review depending exclusively on people’s behavior this afternoon. «It will be reviewed; it depends on today’s behavior», the official warned.

If the operation goes ahead normally, the club will have 15 days to file an administrative appeal and fight to have the sanction lifted for upcoming matches. That said, flags will still be banned in that section for now, for two matches.

Internal investigations: The police under scrutiny

Peverengo also did not shy away from self-criticism over the banner that managed to slip through last weekend. He confirmed that an administrative proceeding has already been launched to investigate what failed in the operation and, if necessary, move forward with administrative inquiries against the officers responsible. «Each police officer working here has a responsibility, and they have to fulfill it», he fired back, making it clear that the operation had been planned, but someone failed in carrying it out.

Peverengo’s sharpest remarks:

Colón is playing two matches today: one on the pitch against Racing de Córdoba and another in the stands against intolerance. Whether color returns to the Elephant Graveyard will depend on the behavior of the club members.
