For the far left rioters, some helpful advice;

peaceful protest is good.
Rioting and obstructing justice is not.

"With deep sorrow, I stand with Senator Miguel Uribe’s family in this difficult moment. My respect and prayers are with you.

We condemn all forms of violence and intolerance. You are not alone."

The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms the attempted assassination of Senator Miguel Uribe.

This is a direct threat to democracy and the result of the violent leftist rhetoric coming from the highest levels of the Colombian government.

Having seen firsthand Colombia’s progress over the past few decades to consolidate security and democracy, it can’t afford to go back to dark days of political violence.

President Petro needs to dial back the inflammatory rhetoric and protect Colombian officials.

We stand in prayer with Miguel’s family, loved ones, and his supporters.
Those responsible for this attack must face justice.
