José Mujica, the former president of Uruguay, has died at the age of 89. He was elected in 2010 and was often described as the “world’s poorest president” for his adoption of a simple lifestyle and his critiques of capitalism. During the 1970s and 1980s, he was jailed and tortured for 14 years for his activity as a guerrilla fighting Uruguay’s military dictatorship. This is José Mujica speaking in 2014.

President José Mujica: “Humanity has to consider some issues that are global, and the central, powerful countries are those that have the greater responsibility.”
