The doctors expecting the Colombian presidential presidency have warned Miguel Uribe Turbay that he is in a “very serious condition” after shooting in the head 10 days ago.

According to the hospital’s statement, Uribe on Monday performed emergency surgery to shed the brain.

His wife said that the hours after the operation would be important and the Colombians would be asked to pray for their recovery.

The June 7 attack on Uribe shocked the Colombians, who left for thousands of tens to participate in the silent protests held across the country on Sunday.

Bogota was one of the cities for silent protests on Sunday

Outside the Santa Fay Hospital, where he is being treated, his wife Maria Claudia Tarazona said, “Miguel never before for her life,” said outside the hospital, where she is being treated.

“We need all the prayers and words of love. This love keeps him alive.”

The 39 -year -old Orthodox Senator, who was demanding his party’s nomination for the 2026 presidential election, was shot three times at an event in the capital Bogota.

A teenager suspect was arrested as he was running away from the scene. The 15 -year -old has been accused of attempting murder and requested not to be guilty.

A person accused of providing the shooter with a gun has also been detained and is also suspected of providing “logistic support” to a woman for the attack.

However, the police are still trying to determine the possible objective for the attack and who would have ordered it.

Brezen attack on a politician – in a broad day’s light, because he was giving a speech in a middle class neighborhood in Bogota – the Turbulant decades of the 1980s and 90s have brought back memories to Colombia, when many presidential candidates and influential Colombian figures were murdered.

Uribe’s own mother, journalist Diana Turbay, was abducted by Los Extraditables in 1990 – an alliance created by major drug Lords.

He was taken hostage by him for five months before he was shot and killed during a boat rescue attempt.

Uribe often quoted him as an inspiration to run “to work for our country” for the political office.

Los Extraditables, who said that they would like a grave in Colombia for a gel cell in the US, attacked and attacked the famous Colombians in an attempt to force the government to reverse their extradition treaty with the US.
