Miguel Uribe Turbay Undergoes New Surgery and Remains in Stable Condition After Attack

Colombian senator Miguel Uribe Turbay remains hospitalized in Bogotá after undergoing a new brain surgery on June 16, nearly a month after being shot during a public event in Fontibón on June 7. The attack left him with two serious head injuries and one in the leg. Doctors at Fundación Santa Fe performed multiple neurosurgical procedures to control brain bleeding and swelling, and his condition is now described as “stable but critical.”

According to hospital sources, Turbay’s latest operation aimed to relieve continued cerebral edema. While he remains in intensive care with a guarded prognosis, the surgical team noted a small improvement in neurological responses. Supporters, family, and political allies continue to rally around him, holding vigils and expressing hope for his recovery.

Investigations into the motive and perpetrators of the attack are ongoing. Meanwhile, his family continues to request privacy, focusing all attention on his recovery. The country watches closely as one of its key political figures fights through a delicate phase with resilience and strength.
