Colombian President Appears to Have Embarrassing Accident During Launch of Re-Election

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos during a recent address marking the launch his re-election campaign appeared to suffer from an embarrassing accident.

Put in the simplest terms, it appears he wet his pants during a speech before a crowd in Barranquilla, Colombia.

The entire incident was caught on camera and uploaded to the Internet.

Here’s a rough Google translation from the video’s YouTube description: “President Juan Manuel Santos was urine in the launch of his campaign in Barranquilla…President Santos should be dedicated to care for their disease rather than aim for another presidential term, also do not want him as president.”

Santos has been Colombia’s president since 2010.

He is better known for his efforts to keep the peace his less-than-friendly neighbor, Venezuela, and for his efforts combating local guerrilla groups, Mediaite notes.

Although the video’s rough translation mentions some sort of “disease,” the 62-year-old has no known illnesses, according to The Mirror.
