He was called the “poorest president in the world” because of a moderate way of life: when he led the country, he paid almost full salaries for charity.
Uruguay’s ex-president (2010-2015) Jose Mumhik died at the age of 89. It was announced on Tuesday, May 13, the current leader of the country Yanda Orsi in X, quoted by Reuters.
“In deep sadness, we reported about the death of our colleague Pepe Muhiki. President, Activist, Leader and Leader. We will not have enough of you, old man. Thanks for all that you have given us, and for your deep love for your people,” he wrote.
Last year, the former Uruguayan leader said he was evaluated with cancer in the esophagus. In early January, in an interview with Busqueda, he said the cancer had spread to the liver. Mukgika decided to stop fighting the disease.
“Why? Because I’m an old man and because I have two chronic illnesses. I’m not suitable for biochemical treatment or surgery, because my body can’t withstand it,” he explained.
Jose Mukikh was born on May 20, 1935 in the capital of Uruguay Montevideo. He was a member of the levoradical movement of Tupamaros, spent nearly 14 years in military prisons. From 2005 to 2008 he served as the Minister of Animal, Agriculture and Fisheries of Uruguay. In the President’s election in 2009, he won. In March 2010, he was in office.
In 2014, Mukhik was nominated for the world’s Nobel Prize for the signing of a law that was approved of the use of marijuana in Uruguay. In 2015, he left the presidency, then he was elected to the Senate (Upper House of the National Assembly), but he was ahead of the 2018 schedule.
The face is known as El Pepe (Pepe – small from Joseph to Spanish). For a moderate way of life, he was called the “poorest president in the world.” So, in his term of the president, he lived on a family farm near Montevideo, and was given almost full salaries in charity. In 2014, he was offered to sell the 1987 Volkswagen Beetle car for 1 million dollars, but Mukgika refused.
After leaving the Senate, he also rejected the senator’s pension. Mukhika was married to the head of the Uruguayan Senate, 80-year-old Lucia Topolanski.
