I've seen this headline but hadn't taken the time to read the article. I'm glad you posted it here! Donating 90% of his income: he must truly know what it is to have *enough*. Sounds like Uruguay is lucky to have him.
It's nice to see a leader that doesn't feel a need to roll in money for a change.
Too bad that the Uruguayan public seems to be displeased with his performance for allowing abortions up to 12 weeks and trying to legalize and tax marijuana.
It's a line from The Dark Knight movie (Batman). It was talking about how Batman was the hero that Gotham deserved- a man who loved the city despite it's downfalls, and was willing to do what it took to help it... and yet, who was often villified by the residents.
President Mujica is generally not well-liked for his stance on abortion (having legalised abortions up to 12 weeks, perhaps before most women even know they're pregnant), and for wanting to legalize marijuana. We can all agree that these are generally good things to legalize in terms of quality of life, but... the residents hate him for it. He is interested in improving his country, but they are not ready to see the good in him. He is the man they deserve, but not who they need.

Sounds like a decent guy to me.
