María Claudia Tarazona spoke about the lack of security guarantees following the attack on Miguel Uribe: "He was an easy target."

María Claudia Tarazona, wife of presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay, shared her testimony on the program "Los Informantes," in which she recounted the moments after the attack that left her husband seriously injured.

The attack, which occurred more than a month ago, highlighted, according to Tarazona, the deficiencies in the security provided to political figures during campaigns.

During the interview, Tarazona stated that her husband carried out proselytizing activities without the minimum protection conditions.

" Miguel was campaigning without the minimum security conditions. He was very exposed and, because of his vulnerability, an easy target ," he said.

Although they had not received any prior threats, the family explained, they were aware of the risks involved in political activity in the country.

“ We talked about it a lot. I used to tell Miguel: ‘You're fighting too hard and you're not being looked after properly, ’” he recounted, recalling that on some occasions the candidate would attend forums accompanied only by a police officer and traveling by taxi.

Tarazona also relived the moments after the attack. She recalled how she managed to transport her husband from Fontibón to the Santa Fe Foundation , while holding him in the ambulance.

“Don't die, don't die, we have to get there,” she repeated as she accompanied him. “It was the longest 15 minutes of my life,” she declared.

Miguel Uribe's condition remains guarded. He has been in the intensive care unit for over a month.

María Claudia stated that she has decided to respect the official opinion of the medical team and will not offer additional details about her progress, limiting the discussion to her immediate family.

When asked about her emotional situation, Tarazona admitted to feeling fear, especially for her children.

As for the future, he stated that he has decided not to ask questions that have no answers. “ I don't even ask what will happen tomorrow ,” he expressed.

Faith has become her lifeline amidst uncertainty. “I learned two things during this process: to trust in God and to live in the present. I am grateful for every day of Miguel’s life,” she concluded.
