For a bitter president: the hard relief of photographer Sebastián Moreno after receiving serious death threats

The Colombian content creator Sebastián Moreno publicly denounced receiving death threats and intimidation against his family following the 2026 presidential elections. The threats emerged after he was linked to a specific political faction due to his online presence, particularly his connection to a politician on Instagram. In a July 1, 2026, video, Moreno explained that his content, which typically focuses on everyday people sharing their stories, had been misinterpreted by some viewers who assumed his political stance based on his social media activity. He emphasized that the situation escalated beyond online comments into direct threats, marking a significant departure from his usual work. This is not the first time Moreno has faced such challenges, having previously experienced similar incidents during the country’s social protests. He expressed concern over the polarization in Colombia and the role of social media in promoting division.
