Meeting up with… Estela, Uruguay

Estela Piriz

Second part of our meeting with Latin American bloggers: after Vania Balderrama from Bolivia, here is the interview of Estela Piriz, from Uruguay.

José Pepe Mujica

Tomorrow Uruguay will vote. And the virtually future president of Uruguay is a controversial man. All the polls indicate that José Mujica should be the next president of Uruguay. Do not rely on his perfect grandfather look: in the 1960s and 1970s, he was one of the most wanted people in the country. José Mujica, alias “El Pepe”, was part of the National Liberation Movement – Tucamaros.
