**Chaos in Colombia: FARC's Terror Tactics Exposed as Violence Against Conservatives Escalates**

In a shocking escalation of political violence, Colombian authorities have arrested multiple suspects in connection with the assassination of conservative presidential frontrunner Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay, with evidence pointing to the involvement of the communist terrorist group FARC.

The young shooter, just on the cusp of adulthood, was apprehended at the scene but the attack is believed to be part of a larger conspiracy orchestrated by FARC, a group notorious for its decades-long reign of terror in Colombia.


The FARC’s resurgence follows the controversial peace deal initiated by former President Juan Manuel Santos, which many argue has left the door wide open for leftist terrorists to thrive. Under the guise of a peace agreement, the FARC maintained operational command in various regions of Colombia, continuing to engage in drug trafficking and violent attacks against conservative voices in the country.

William Rincón, director of Colombia’s National Police, stated unequivocally that the prime suspect in planning Uribe’s assassination, Simeón Pérez Marroquín, also known as “El Viejo,” links to the Segunda Marquetalía—a dangerous faction of FARC that rejected the peace deal. This alarming detail illustrates how remnants of leftist violence persist, emboldened by the policies of the current leftist government of President Gustavo Petro.

Petro's administration has been marked by rising instability and a profound resurgence of FARC and other criminal elements as measures to combat drug trafficking and violence have faltered. The Colombian country, which should be thriving, is instead grappling with an overwhelming surge in cocaine production, as indicated in the United Nations' recent report, which highlighted an astonishing increase in coca leaf cultivation.

Senator Uribe, a stalwart advocate for firm policies against FARC, had gained considerable ground in the upcoming 2026 presidential election. His assassination sends a chilling message to any political challenger who dares to oppose the left's agenda.

As chaos reigns in Colombia, the implications of this violence cannot be overstated. The actions of FARC and their sympathizers stand as a warning to democracies worldwide. It underscores the critical need for strong, unwavering leadership to confront these threats head-on.

Colombians deserve leaders unafraid to tackle the underbelly of terrorism and drug trafficking. This tragic event highlights the importance of supporting candidates who prioritize national security and law and order over misguided appeasement.

As the nation reflects on the tragic demise of Miguel Uribe, voters must remain vigilant and support the candidates who will prioritize peace over terror and uphold the principles of democracy against those who aim to undermine them.
