官员周六表示,哥伦比亚即将举行的总统选举中一名右翼候选人的两名竞选工作人员遭枪击身亡。
候选人阿瓦拉多·德·拉斯皮列利亚称,周五晚间,骑摩托车的枪手在中西部梅塔省枪杀了这两名男子。
梅塔省是拒绝2016年历史性和平协议的反叛分子的据点,该协议曾与现已解散且曾势力庞大的哥伦比亚革命武装力量(FARC)游击队达成。该省同时也是可卡因贩运的通道。
政府公民权利监察员在X平台上表示,由于枪击事件发生在选举筹备期间,它们“严重影响”民众参与选举的意愿。
即将于5月31日举行的选举将选出哥伦比亚首位左翼总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗的继任者,安全问题是此次选举的一大核心议题。
哥伦比亚正处于杀戮和反叛袭击的浪潮之中,德·拉斯皮列利亚以及另外两名主要候选人——包括左翼热门候选人伊万·塞佩达——均称收到过死亡威胁。三人出行均配备重兵安保。
塞佩达的副总统竞选搭档于今年2月遭拒绝接受2016年FARC和平协议的反叛分子绑架数小时。
另有一个反叛组织被怀疑于去年6月杀害了总统竞选候选人米格尔·乌里韦。
2 presidential campaign staffers killed in Colombia weeks before election

Two campaign staffers working for a right-wing candidate in Colombia’s upcoming presidential election have been shot and killed, officials said Saturday.
Gunmen on motorcycles killed the two men Friday night in the central-west Meta Department, said the candidate, Abelardo de la Espriella.
Meta is a stronghold of rebel fighters who rejected a historic 2016 peace accord with the now-defunct and once-powerful FARC guerrilla army, and also a conduit for cocaine trafficking.
The government’s citizens’ rights ombudsman said on X that as the killings come in the lead-up to elections, they “seriously affect” people’s ability to take part.
Security is a big issue heading into the May 31 election to replace Colombia’s first leftist president, Gustavo Petro.
Colombia is enduring a wave of killings and rebel attacks, and de la Espriella and two other major candidates — including leftist front-runner Ivan Cepeda — have reported receiving death threats. All three travel with heavy security.
Cepeda’s vice presidential running mate was kidnapped for a few hours in February by rebels who refuse to embrace the 2016 accord with FARC.
Another renegade group is suspected of killing presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe in June of last year.
