Im off to the bookshop tomorrow, to find any books and/or docos about this very interesting man. Having just scratched the surface of his story, Im gobsmacked, impressed, humbled, and in awe. A man of the ages. We are all human, but some are more human than others. His Wikipedia page is worth spending some time reading... ~ José Alberto Pepe Mujica Cordano (Spanish pronunciation: [xoˈse muˈxika]; born 20 May 1935) has been President of Uruguay since 2010. A former guerrilla fighter and a member of the Broad Front coalition of left-wing parties, Mujica was Minister of Livestock, Agriculture, and Fisheries from 2005 to 2008 and a Senator afterwards. As the candidate of the Broad Front, he won the 2009 presidential election and took office as President on 1 March 2010. He has been described as the worlds poorest president, due to his austere lifestyle and his donation of around 90 percent of his $12,000 (£7,500) monthly salary to charities that benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs.[
