Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe, who may run for president in the 2026 elections, is in critical condition after being shot during a campaign event in Bogotá. This attack took place in a public park in the Fontibón neighborhood.
Uribe, a 39-year-old member of the opposition conservative Democratic Center party, was speaking to his supporters when he was shot from behind. Videos shared on social media show him bleeding from a head injury before he was quickly taken to Santa Fe Foundation hospital. His wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, said he is “fighting for his life,” highlighting the seriousness of his condition. According to Reuters, the hospital has confirmed that he underwent surgery.
