 Former Uruguayan President José Mujica

He earned admiration at home and cult status abroad for legalizing marijuana and same-sex marriage, enacting the region’s first sweeping abortion rights law and establishing Uruguay as a leader in alternative energy.

also
As leader of a violent leftist guerrilla group in the 1960s known as the Tupamaros, Mujica robbed banks, planted bombs and abducted businessmen and politicians on Montevideo’s streets in hopes of provoking a popular uprising that would lead to a Cuban-style socialist Uruguay.

That’s too bad but he was very ill.

You won’t hear me say that about any other former leftist terrorist.

I am very fond of Uruguay. Would be a good place to retire…

that's impressive
He escaped from prison twice


this too
unlike other leaders in the region, he was never accused of corruption or of undermining his country's democracy.
(wish we could say the same)

that was a great article, thanks for sharing

I don't think they're related. They spell their last names differently.
