By the end of his administration, Mujica had a high domestic popularity rating (close to 70%) and was elected senator, but also spent part of his time travelling the world after he stepped down as president."So what it is that catches the world's attention? That I live with very little, a simple house, that I drive around in an old car?

"Some young people get tattoos of the kings' crowns like Andry did. That was his crime."Hundreds of people in Capacho Nuevo, a modest agricultural town, participated in a vigil at the end of March to demand Mr Hernández's release. Some of them wore crowns.
