Congressman Julio César Triana, from the Cambio Radical party, survived an attack in Huila when his vehicle was assaulted with handguns and rifles. The incident occurred while he was traveling to the municipality of Paicol, and it was recorded in a video published by the legislator himself. Triana reported that, despite his multiple calls, he did not receive immediate support from the police or the army, which increased the risk to his safety and that of his team.
"I want to tell everyone that we're in the vehicle: we've just been attacked, we've just been shot at with a rifle and a handgun as we were leaving La Plata. I'm here with the police officers, the UNP. I want to inform you that we still haven't received support from either the police or the army. We're arriving at a town called Paicol; the road is absolutely deserted. We were hit several times. We're requesting support from the public force.", the congressman recounted, with evident fear.
The audiovisual material shared by Triana shows the damage caused by the gunfire, which affected three windows of the SUV, although he and his team were unharmed. The National Protection Unit (UNP) and military authorities were immediately alerted to reinforce the legislator's security given the evident vulnerability in the area.
