María Claudia Tarazona spoke about the teenager who attacked her husband, Miguel Uribe: "I don't feel anger or resentment."

María Claudia Tarazona, wife of presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay, offered testimony on the program "Los Informantes," in which she recounted her experience of the attack on her husband and shared her perspective on the 14-year-old boy who shot him on June 7 in Bogotá.

Tarazona explained that, since the attack, multiple videos of the incident have circulated on social media.

However, he asserted that he has avoided seeing any images of the attack: " I think I can handle some things, but not everything. And that's one thing I know I can't handle ."

Despite the emotional impact, she expressed her willingness to talk about the attacker without resentment. As she expressed it, she has no intention of watching the images of the attack, but she does have an opinion about the 14-year-old boy who shot Miguel Uribe.

In his reflection, Tarazona questioned the social environment that allows minors to be recruited by criminal organizations.

“ When a 14-year-old picks up a gun, instead of kicking a ball around, getting his first girlfriend, learning math, struggling with a subject he doesn't like, and being more skilled at killing than kicking a ball, the problem isn't with him ,” he said.

He insisted that his primary emotion is not hate: “ I don't feel any anger, I don't feel resentment, I don't feel anything. I feel pain ,” he expressed.

Tarazona also shared that the hardest moment has been dealing with her children's grief after the attack.

“ And when pain and violence enter one's life like that, the soul exists. My soul hurts. My soul broke, ” she said, visibly moved.

She noted that suffering has brought her closer to her faith: “ Nothing humanizes you more than pain, but nothing humanizes you more and brings you closer to God than pain .”

The attack occurred just after 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 7. The teenager was arrested by National Protection Unit guards after a chase, during which he was shot in the right leg.

After being treated at a clinic, he was transferred to the Attorney General's Office bunker in Bogotá, where he remains in custody with the support of the Colombian Family Welfare Institute (ICBF) because he is a minor.
