The former president of Uruguay, José Mujica, a left-wing icon known for his progressive social reforms, died Tuesday at the age of 89.
“With deep sorrow we announce our friend Pepe Mujica”'s life separation from the life of our friend Pepe Mujica, Uruguay President Yamandú Orsi reported on X The Guardian.
The former popular ruler is remembered for his modest lifestyle during his presidential mandate, while famously avoiding the presidential palace to carry out its duties from its rural farm.
He had struggled with cancer for more than a year before his death, telling reporters in 2024 that he would fight as long as he could./Periscopi/
