Colombia - June 07, 2025 [WARNING: violent content] Miguel Uribe, a Colombian senator and 2026 presidential hopeful, is in critical condition after being shot in the back during a campaign event in the Fontibón neighborhood of Bogotá on Saturday. The 39-year-old politician, a member of the opposition Democratic Centre party founded by former President Álvaro Uribe , was speaking in a public park when armed assailants opened fire, according to a statement from his party. Video footage circulating on social media shows Uribe bleeding from the head as bystanders rush to assist him. His wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, later posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) account that he is "fighting for his life." The Democratic Centre party strongly condemned the attack but has not released further details about Uribe’s medical condition or the identities of the attackers.
