The vice president of Colombia, Francia Márquez, said this Tuesday (10) that her security team found and defused an explosive device placed near her family home in the Colombian municipality of Suárez.
On Twitter, Gustavo Petro’s deputy posted photos of the artifact, which detailed to contain more than 7 kilos of explosive material and was deposited on the road that gives access to the house. “This was another attempt on my life,” she wrote.
Márquez is the first woman and the first black person to assume the Vice Presidency of Colombia — just as Petro is the first leftist leader in the Latin American country. Lawyer and activist, she became known for her fight against illegal mining.
