Mourners from all corners of Uruguay bid farewell to iconic former President José Mujica

  • Thousands of mourners gathered in Montevideo on Wednesday to bid farewell to former President José Mujica.
  • Mujica, a former leader of the Tupamaros guerrilla group in the 1960s, died at his home days before turning 90 after an esophageal cancer diagnosis.
  • The flag-draped coffin was carried on a gun carriage through downtown Montevideo, ending after nearly four hours at parliament where banners, wreaths, and portraits were displayed.
  • National days of mourning were declared by President Yamandú Orsi, Mujica’s protégé, with flags at half-staff and government operations limited while many left-wing leaders are expected at the funeral.
  • Mujica is remembered for transforming Uruguay into a socially liberal democracy and for his humility and calls for dialogue despite his militant past.
