Hours before surgery, María Claudia Tarazona pointed out, also on Instagram and in a publication in which she appears with her son and before an image of the Virgin of Fatima, that “Miguel needs them with their prayers, faith, love and good energy to get closer again to the miracle of his recovery. Appealing to the love that each of you has told us, I beg you to join us.

“Miguel is the symbol that will help us and accompany us. And that is why God, I’m sure, he will do the complete miracle,” he said.
