Mujica gained world renown when he assumed Uruguay's presidency in 2010 and declared that his entire wealth amounted to the 1987 Beetle. The ramshackle farm he lives on was in his wife's name.
Since then, in his official declarations of wealth, he has included the farm and he has been earning about $11,000 a month as president, of which he donates 20 percent to his political movement. Earlier this year he put his total wealth at $322,883, with the flower farm reportedly worth $108,000.
乌拉圭总统穆吉卡日前称,已有人出一百万美元的高价购买其破旧的座驾。这辆1987年出厂的蓝色“甲壳虫”已经成为穆吉卡简朴作风的象征。
穆吉卡被称为“世界上最穷的总统”。他在接受乌拉圭周刊《探索》采访时表示,一位阿拉伯酋长愿出一百万美元的价格购买他的旧车。一次资讯发布会上,穆吉卡被问及此事时说:“他们是这么跟我说的,不过我没把这当个事。”
一位因故不愿透露姓名的墨西哥驻乌拉圭使馆发言人告诉记者,墨西哥大使最近曾在一次闲谈中建议穆吉卡把车拍卖掉,并预计能换回10辆四轮卡车。
穆吉卡表示,他将把卖车得来的100万美元捐给一个为无家可归者提供住房的项目。如果换来的是卡车,则会将卡车捐给乌拉圭的公共卫生部门,或捐给参与活动的工人们。
