Utdrag ur Wikipedias artikel om Prez. Mujica, Uruguay Något för Muteborg att ta efter? Personal life Mujica and his wife In 2005, Mujica married Lucía Topolansky, a fellow Tupamaro member and current senator, after many years of co-habitation. They have no children and live on an austere farm in the outskirts of Montevideo where they cultivate chrysanthemums for sale, having declined to live in the opulent presidential palace or use its staff.[36] His humble lifestyle is reflected by his choice of an aging Volkswagen Beetle as transport.[37] In 2010, the value of the car was $1,800 and represented the entirety of the mandatory annual personal wealth declaration filed by Mujica for that year. In November 2014, the Uruguayan newspaper Búsqueda reported that he had been offered 1 million dolars for the car, which was manufactured in 1987; he said that if he did get 1 million dollars for the car it would be donated to house the homeless through a programme that he supports.[38] His wife owns the farm they live on. Some Uruguayans see him as a roly-poly former guerrilla who grows flowers on a small farm and swears by vegetarianism.[3][39][40][41][42][43] He describes himself as atheist.[1] Also living at the farm is his three-legged dog, Manuela.[44]
