We extend our solidarity to Senator Uribe Turbay, his family, the Senate of the Republic, and the people of Colombia, and express our sincere wishes for his prompt recovery.

ParlAmericas reaffirms its unwavering commitment to democracy, peace, and the rule of law, and categorically rejects all forms of violence. We call on the Colombian authorities to undertake a swift, thorough, and impartial investigation to determine the facts and ensure that the perpetrators and planners of this heinous crime are brought to justice.
