Uribe Londoño backs De La Espriella and demands intellectual authors

--- The context --- The assassination of Miguel Uribe Turbay, a former presidential candidate, remains unresolved in Colombia while his family demands that the investigation reach those who ordered the crime rather than stopping with the material perpetrators. --- The facts --- Miguel Uribe Londoño, the former candidate's father, spoke officially in a statement released on Wednesday, October 20, 2026. He backed President Abelardo de La Espriella's call to identify the intellectual authors and demanded progress in establishing responsibility for the homicide. He closed by saying that they killed his son, but that they will never be able to kill his principles or his values. --- The positions --- The statement supports the president's firmness so that the truth does not stop at the execution of the crime, and it backs his commitment to clarify the assassination. It also included accusations against the previous government of Gustavo Petro, to whom Uribe Londoño attributed alleged complicity in what he described as a state crime. The widow, María Claudia Tarazona, said that an alleged Segunda Marquetalia leader had given and coordinated the material order, according to information that, in her account, reached prosecutors in mid-October 2026. --- What remains unknown --- Tarazona's claims were not accompanied by supporting evidence in the information provided. In her account, the resources came from Venezuela and those responsible were hired through a network operating in Bogotá, with an alleged coordinator in custody who reportedly provided information about payments and those responsible. --- Unanswered questions --- Who gave the order to kill Miguel Uribe Turbay? What verifiable evidence supports the family's claims about Segunda Marquetalia? When will justice question in the United States the extradited men named by the family's lawyers? --- EPM analysis --- The case combines a legitimate demand for truth with sensitive claims that require strict verification. Tarazona rejected the ELN hypothesis and clarified that she does not attribute intellectual responsibility to Gustavo Petro or Iván Cepeda, since that determination belongs to investigators and the courts. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, the father's backing of President Abelardo de La Espriella's call keeps the focus where it belongs: on the intellectual authors of the killing, not only on those who carried it out. The widow's claims deserve rigorous investigation, but no assertion offered without supporting evidence can be treated as established truth. Justice must advance on verifiable proof, without impunity and without turning a family's grief into a permanent instrument of political dispute in Colombia's public life and national debate today.
