The Spin

Right narrative

This attack is the latest example of the intentional deterioration of public safety under the leftist Petro administration, particularly due to his doomed-to-fail Total Peace plan that only grants impunity to armed groups across the country. With some claims that people in the government may have been behind the attack, it's concerning to realize that it would not be surprising if such a hypothesis proves to be true.

Left narrative

This deplorable assassination attempt was not only an act of violence against Uribe but also against democracy, freedom of thought, and the legitimate exercise of politics in the country. Petro and his government have forcefully condemned this incident, and security forces are discussing a strategy to address the situation and capture the perpetrators.
