Ask any child today, who he wants to be in the future, and one in three will say the president. Looking at what luxury living most state chapters - nothing strange. But not all the "guarantor of the Constitution" can boast of mansions on the islands and private aircraft. Some have chosen a very different path. And among them the hero of this review - the poorest president in the world.
Palaces, islands and the golden bowls - about the life you imagine any president. It is noteworthy that the poorer the country, the richer the lives of her head. But this system picked up and smashed Jose Mujica - ascetic, vegetarian and former president of Uruguay.
Jose, who at home is affectionately known as El Pepe - atypical president. When in the 2010th he took office, the first thing is refused to move him in the position of the residence. Luxury villa Mujica chose her old farm inherited from his father.
The capital of the farm joins a dirt road. In a small house living Jose, his wife and two dogs: old Labrador and a mongrel trohnogaya by Manuela nickname.
Jose always loved the garden and work on the ground. Before they presidency and his wife own, without salaried employees, to grow flowers for sale. The Lucia (wife) continued to work and when Jose became a political star №1.
In addition to the farm of the declared property in El Pepe has old Volkswagen- «Beetle" 1987 year. The cost of the car - 1800 US dollars.
You know, what is the salary of the president of Uruguay? 12.5 million dollars. And all five years of his presidency Jose gave 90% of that amount to charity. Thus his monthly income remained at the level of the average wage in the country, which at that time was 775 dollars.
Why, Dorval to large financial capacity, the former president of and I did not take advantage? Jose has always adhered to a radical leftist. For which he was shot 6 times "on the barricades" and spent 14 years in prison, mostly in the chamber "alone." And it could not affect the world's future political leader.
His philosophy of former President succinctly fit into one statement: "They call me the poorest president, but I do not feel themselves to be poor. Poor - it is those who work only to live in luxury. They always want more and more... But if you do the little things... it is formed more time for myself. "
Probably live longer Important People on this principle, the world would be much better. And yet, in contrast procedure we offer a look, it looks like the home of Donald Trump.
