Uruguay's No-frills President
Jose Mujica was elected as Uruguay's president in 2010, and has since put his small country in the international spotlight. Before entering politics, Jose was a revolutionary and spent fourteen years in prison. He shuns official palaces in favour of living on his rural farm and still owns his 1987 blue VW Beetle, which he uses to get to official events. He is famous for his liberal policies including legalising marijuana, gay marriage and abortion. The Â鶹ÊÓƵAV's Ignacio de los Reyes travelled to Montevideo to meet him.
