Who is José Mujica?

José Alberto "Pepe" Mujica Cordano was born on May 20, 1935 in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Jose Mujica was the president of Uruguay. Growing up in the poor and remote section of his
native country, he had a difficult start in life.

to help his family survive. He took this sense of toughness with him when he joined an armed
revolutionary group.
Training and living in the jungle, the guerillas were determined to fight off the yoke of a brutal
dictatorship.

After a series of daring raids, Jose and his companions were unable to resist the overwhelming
opposition forces and were convicted and given long sentences behind bars. After a grueling,
difficult period of incarceration, he was finally released.

Determined to pursue change by a different path, he ran for office and quickly rose through the
ranks. After securing a productive term as a cabinet minister, Mujica threw his hat in the ring
and was elected president. Following through on his campaign promises, he quickly
implemented a number of far-reaching social justice programs for his country . After a
transformational and productive term in office, Mujica peacefully stepped down from the
presidency and peacefully retired to a private life
