Haya ni baadhi ya maneno Ambayo aliyasema akiwa anahojiwa na kituo cha habari cha BBC
"I'm called 'the poorest president', but I
don't feel poor. Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an
expensive lifestyle, and always want more and more," he says.
"This is a matter of freedom. If you don't have many
possessions then you don't need to work all your life like a slave to
sustain them, and therefore you have more time for yourself," he says."I may appear to be an eccentric old man... But this is a free choice."
The Uruguayan leader made a similar point when he addressed the Rio+20 summit in June this year: "We've been talking all afternoon about sustainable development. To get the masses out of poverty.
"But what are we thinking? Do we want the model of development and consumption of the rich countries? I ask you now: what would happen to this planet if Indians would have the same proportion of cars per household than Germans? How much oxygen would we have left?
"Does this planet have enough resources so seven or eight billion can have the same level of consumption and waste that today is seen in rich societies? It is this level of hyper-consumption that is harming our planet."
