    Mujica Cordano
    BIOGRAPHY
    Jos Alberto Mujica Cordano was born on May 20, 1934 in Montevideo. The "Pepe" married in 2005
    with Mrs. Lucia Topolansky.
    Jos Alberto Mujica Cordano, popularly known as Pepe Mujica is a Uruguayan politician, current
    president of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay. With a past guerilla, was chosen deputy and senator to
    occupy the position of minister of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries between 2005 and 2008. In his
    youth, Mujica participated actively in the National Party, where it came near Enrique Erro. His mother
    was born in Carmelo, where his parents, vine growers, bought five hectares in Colonia Estrella to
    grow vineyards. His father was a small farmer who was bankrupt just before his death in 1940, when
    Mujica was six years old. On 1 March 2005, President Tabar Vzquez appointed Mujica as Minister
    of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (Mujica's professional tray was in the agricultural sector).
    When he became a minister, Mujica resigned as a senator. The political ideology of Mujica has
    evolved over the years. He took office on 1 March 2010.

    Government
    Under Mujicas leadership the Uruguayan economy continued to prosper, posting consistent growth in
    GDP and per capita GDP while maintaining low unemployment rates. In June 2012 Mujica proposed
    that the government legalize and distribute marijuana to cut off revenue to drug dealers. hen, in
    November, a bill was introduced in the House of Representatives outlining a framework for
    government regulation of marijuana production, sales, and consumption. In October 2012 Uruguay had
    become the first South American country to allow abortions up to the 12th week of pregnancy, and in
    May 2013 Mujica signed a bill that made Uruguay the second country in Latin America to
    legalize same-sex marriage. Mujica was constitutionally prohibited from seeking a second, consecutive
    term, but, in much the same fashion that he had ridden into the presidency on the goodwill generated
    by the Vzquez regime, he was able to return the favour, as the popularity of Mujicas rule paved the
    way for Vzquezs triumph over the National Partys Luis Lacalle Pou (the son of Mujicas opponent
    in 2009) in the November 2014 presidential runoff election.
