José Alberto "Pepe" Mujica Cordano (Spanish pronunciation: [xoˈse muˈxika]; born 20 May 1935) is an Uruguayan politician who was the 40th President of Uruguay between 2010 and 2015. A former urban guerrilla fighter with the Tupamaros, he was imprisoned for 13 years during the military dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s. 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 world's 'humblest' president" due to his austere lifestyle and his donation of around 90 percent of his $12,000 monthly salary to charities that benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs.
Mujica was born on 20 May 1935, to Demetrio Mujica, of Spanish Basque ancestry, and Lucy Cordano, a daughter of Italian immigrants. Mujica's father was a small farmer who went bankrupt shortly before his death in 1940, when his son was five. His mother's parents were very poor immigrants from Liguria. Lucy Cordano was born in Carmelo, where her parents had bought five acres in Colonia Jose to cultivate vineyards. Between the ages of 13 and 17, Mujica cycled for several clubs in different categories. He was also active in the National Party, where he became close to Enrique Erro.
José Mujica, nicknamed Pepe Mujica, was President of Uruguay from 2010 to 2015. A former Tupamaros freedom fighter in the 60s and the 70s, he was detained, like a hostage by the dictatorship between 1973 and 1985. He advocates a philosophy of life focused on sobriety: learn to live with what is necessary and fairest.

Un político DIFERENTE, más humano, vive como piensa. El gobernante debe vivir como sus gobernados, ahí esta la comprensión de los problemas sociales. 19 de Octubre 2016, Ciudad de México.
José "Pepe" Mujica (expresidente de Uruguay) entrevistado en el programa "Animales sueltos", de Alejandro Fantino; por el canal "América" - 28/10/2016
El presidente de Uruguay, José "Pepe" Mujica, recibió este jueves la distinción Orden Nacional al Mérito en grado de Gran Collar en Ecuador, en medio de un sentido homenaje del pueblo de Guayaquil durante el traspaso de la presidencia pro témpore de la Unión de Naciones Suramericanas (UNASUR).

Ancien combattant de la résistance élu président de l’Uruguay et donnant presque 90% de son salaire pour des projets sociaux : Pepe Mujica, l’une des personnalités les plus charismatiques d’Amérique du Sud, est devenu célèbre en tant que « président le plus pauvre du monde ». Lui qui a passé de nombreuses années en prison pour des raisons politiques, est toujours resté fidèle à ses idéaux. Son train de vie modeste – au lieu du Palais présidentiel, il habite une petite propriété rurale – et sa façon d’agir en dehors du système des conventions, sont le ciment de sa crédibilité auprès de toute la population de son pays. Pepe Mujica défend ses priorités avec humour, intelligence et passion. Son action politique pour une société plus juste rencontre une résonance et un soutien international gra...
