Thousands of Colombians gathered to bid farewell to Miguel Uribe Turbay, a senator and presidential pre-candidate from the Centro Democrático party, who was recently assassinated. His funeral was marked by emotional speeches, including those from his wife María Claudia Tarazona and his father Miguel Uribe Londoño. Tarazona expressed her grief and vowed to honor her late husband's memory, while Uribe Londoño condemned the violence and asserted that although Miguel was killed, his purpose and ideas remain indestructible. Former President Álvaro Uribe accused current President Gustavo Petro of instigating the assassination through his rhetoric, citing Petro's repeated accusations against Uribe Turbay's grandfather. Petro responded to these allegations, rejecting the claims. The Colombian Attorney General's Office declared the assassination a crime against humanity and has charged additional suspects with new offenses related to the murder. The Colombian Congress called for justice and reconciliation during the senator's farewell, emphasizing his role as a beacon during difficult times. In response to escalating violence and threats, President Petro convened a meeting of foreign ministers to address the country's security concerns. The incident has drawn international attention, with U.S. Senator Marco Rubio lamenting the political violence in Colombia and expressing sorrow over the loss of Uribe Turbay. Meanwhile, political tensions remain high amid ongoing investigations and appeals involving former President Álvaro Uribe.
