Overview
«Hace algunos años, cuando Mujica fue electo presidente de Uruguay, el mundo descubrió a un político distinto. Vivía con muy poco, decía lo que pensaba y se expresaba más como un filósofo que como un ex guerrillero reconvertido en político.
Desde muy joven se involucró intensamente en el activismo de un partido tradicional, vivió la década de los años sesenta desde la trinchera revolucionaria, pasó los setenta en la más oscura de las catacumbas de la dictadura y en los noventa participó en el crecimiento y triunfo de las izquierdas hasta llegar a ser presidente de su país.
Mujica ha culminado su gobierno con altos índices de popularidad, resultados económicos y sociales elogiados en todo el mundo y medidas puntuales que pasarán a la historia. Lo ha hecho conjugando dos realidades antitéticas: una concepción ideológica y un estilo de vida anarquista, con el cargo de presidente, que concentra el mayor poder del estado.» - Allan Percy
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An inspiring book about an iconic political figure.
“When Mujica was elected president of Uruguay, the world was introduced to a different breed of political figure. The country’s new leader lived humbly and said exactly what he thought, behaving more like a philosopher than a guerrilla fighter turned politician.
An activist from a young age, Mujica spent the 1960s in revolution and the 1970s in the prisons of the dictatorship. In the 1990s, he spearheaded the rebirth and triumph of the Uruguayan left and, in 2009, was elected president of the country.
Mujica enjoyed high popularity ratings and achieved economic and social results that were praised around the world. He did this by embodying what would appear to be two diametrically opposed realities: an anarchist ideology and lifestyle, on the one hand, and the power of the presidency, on the other.” - Allan Percy
