This was reported in its most recent statement by the healthcare center where he has been hospitalized for 10 days, the Santa Fe Foundation, which added in its note that the patient’s prognosis is guarded.

“We continue to provide the comprehensive and multidisciplinary care required with permanent monitoring of his neurological and hemodynamic constants,” the clinic stated.

The Foundation also noted that further statements on the health status of the presidential pre-candidate for the Democratic Center party will be issued when there are relevant clinical changes.

This last explanation comes after news media refuted information the day before about the alleged death of the congressman.

Regarding the false news, President Gustavo Petro condemned that certain sectors of the country use the senator’s situation for electoral purposes or to generate panic and falsehood.

The president described such acts as “immeasurable ruin.” jrr/mem/ifs
