Mujica, world's 'poorest President', dies after battle with cancer
Former Uruguayan President José Mujica, known as Pepe, passed away at the age of 89 due to oesophageal cancer. He rejected Presidential mansion, donated a large portion of his salary and led modest lifestyle, which earned him the label 'world's poorest President', a title he rejected. A former Marxist guerrilla leader, he helped lift Uruguay out of poverty and unemployment.
