The Colombian is still dealing with a challenging issue.
The news that has affected Colombians the most is the kidnapping of Luis Díaz’s parents.

It was discovered afterwards that their freedom had been taken away from them. Over the past few hours, the authorities have established that the ELN is the group that kidnapped Luis Manuel Díaz. They called for the father of the Colombian National Team member to be released immediately in a statement that they released.
