Colombiansenator and presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay died today, according to his wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, who was shot in the head in an attack on June 7 in Bogotá.
"I ask God to show me the way to learn to live without you," Tarazona wrote on her social media, adding, "Rest in peace, I will take care of our children," along with a picture of them both.
Uribe Turbay, 39, senator of the right-wing party , who had been admitted to the clinic of the Santa Fe Foundation in Bogotá since the day of the attack, has undergone a series of surgical interventions that, although improved, have never overcome the critical situation.
Last Saturday, the clinic reported that the politician had suffered a hemorrhage in the nervous system and his condition had worsened.
Uribe Turbay wasshot twice in the head and another in the left leg as he held a political rally in a park in the Modelia district of Bogotá ahead of the 2026 presidential election.
Colombia's president, Gustavo Petro , has described the death of the opposition senator as a "failure" for the entire country. "That's why we're sad, Miguel's death hurts us as if it were ours. It's a failure. Every time he's a dead Colombian, it's a failure of Colombia and life.
The president has stressed that "life is above any ideology," and has lamented the "murder of an opposition senator in a progressive government that loves life."
