5 | Some will like him, others will not, but what no one can debate is that ex-President of Uruguay José Mujica (2010-2015) earned his place in the pantheon of notable world leaders, a status cemented when Monocle magazine named him “the Best President of the World” in 2012. | Ny sasany mety ho tia azy, ny sasany tsia, saingy ny tsy azon'ny rehetra iadiana hevitra dia ny hoe nahazo ny toeram-boninahiny ao amin'ny Panthéon amin'ny maha-mpitarika nisongadina azy teto amin'izao tontolo izao ilay filoha fahiny tao Orogoay José Mujica (2010-2015) , zavatra iray niaraha-nahita rehefa injay ny gazetiboky Monocle nanendry azy ho “ny Filoha Mendrika Indrindra Teto An-Tany” tamin'ny 2012. |
6 | The fame that Mujica (‘Pepe', as he is popularly known in Uruguay) achieved at an international level is due partly to the unusual characteristics of his rule, such as his modest way of life and the fact that he donated 90% of his salary to worthy causes. | Amin'ny ampahany, ny laza azon'i Mujica (‘Pepe', araka ny anarana mampahalaza azy ao Orogoay), teo amin'ny sehatra iraisampirenena dia noho ny toetra tsy mahazatra nisy tamin'ny fitondràny, toy ny fombam-piainany tsotra sy ny nanomezany ny 90% tamin'ny karamany ho an'ny fanatanterahana ireo asa tena mendrika izany. |
7 | His policies also attracted world attention, however, especially the law legalising and regulating the sale of marijuana in the country - prompted by a desire to wrest power away from the state's prominent drug cartels - and his commitment to renewable energy. | Kanefa, nahasarika ny sain'izao tontolo izao ihany koa ny politikany, indrindra fa ny lalàna natao momba ny fivarotana ‘marijuana' ho ara-dalàna tao amin'ny firenena - natosiky ny hetaheta hanaisotra ny fahefana tsy ho eny am-pela-tànan'ireo goavan'ny fanondranana zava-mahadomelina ao amin'ny firenena - ary ny fanoloran-tenany hampiasa ny angovo azo havaozina. |
8 | ‘Pepe' left office earlier in March this year in accordance with the single-term limit in Uruguay's constitution. | Tany ampiadohan'ny Martsa tamin'ity taona ity i ‘Pepe' no nandao ny biraony, mifanaraka amin'ny fe-potoam-piasana tsy misy afa-tsy indray mandeha ihany araka ny lalàm-panorenana ao Orogoay. |
9 | But his forthright philosophies and worldview, which provoked both admiration and repudiation, is likely to be associated with Uruguayan politics for some time. | Saingy ny filôzôfiany sy ny fomba fijery mahitsy ananany momba ny tontolo, izay sady niteraka fiderana azy no nitondra fanilihana ihany koa, dia toy ny nifamatotra amin'ireo politika Orogoaiana nandritry ny fotoana sasantsasany. |
10 | Having spent 13 years of his prime as a political prisoner during the dictatorship years of the 1970s and 1980s, ‘Pepe' gained a reputation for never shrinking from a confrontation and sticking up for what he believed to be the most important things in life. | Rehefa nandany ny 13 taona voalohany tany am-ponja izy, tamin'ny naha-gadra noho ny politika azy nandritry ny fitondrana jadona tamin'ny 1970 sy 1980, dia nahazo ny lazany i ‘Pepe' ho tsy mba nihemotra tamin'izay fifandonana sy nifikitra tamin'izay ninoany ho ny zava-dehibe indrindra amin'ny fiainana. |
11 | For some, including some Uruguayans, his informal style could be embarrassing and his Latin American diplomacy was not always airtight. | Ho an'ny sasany, isan'ireny ireo Orogoaiana sasantsasany, ny endrika tsy manara-drafitra nitondràny dia mety hanahirankirana ihany ary tsy hoe tsy nisy tsininy foana ny diplaomasiany momba an'i Amerika Latina. |
12 | He was once reportedly caught calling Argentine President Cristina Kirchner “an old hag” and her husband and predecessor Nestor Kirchner “the one-eyed guy”on account of his lazy eye. | Indray mandeha izy no voalaza fa tratra niantso an-telefaona ny Filohan'i Arzantina, Cristina Kirchner “vaviantitra iray mpamosavy ” sy ny vadiny izay teo alohany nodimbiasany, Nestor Kirchner “ilay poa-maso an'ila” noho ny masony reraka. |
13 | But here are some of José Mujica's more thought-provoking musings, courtesy of his Wikiquote: | Fa ireto ny sasany amin'ireo nofinofin'i José Mujica tena niteraka fampieritreretana, fanolorana avy amin'ny Wikiquote momba azy: |
14 | “Politics is subject to fly like partridges, short and fast. | “Natao hanidina toy ny vorona ‘perdrix' ny politika, fohy sy haingana. |
15 | And what is needed in the globalised world is long-term policy.” | Ary ny ilaina ao anatin'ny tontolon'ny fanatontoloana dia ny politika maharitra.” |
16 | “To live you have to work, right? | “Mba ho velona dia tsy maintsy miasa ianao, sa tsy izany? |
17 | And if you were not to work you would be mooching off someone else. | Ary raha tsy niasa ianao dia mety hitambezo aman'olona hafa. |
18 | And the life of a moocher is not dignified, but you also can't live to work and do nothing else. | Ary tsy omena haja ny fiainan'ny olona iray mitambezo lava, nefa koa tsy afaka hiaina mba hiasa na hanao zavatra hafa ianao. |
19 | It's that simple. | Tsotra kely izany. |
20 | Because the most glorious thing one has is life. | Satria ny zavatra be voninahitra indrindra ananan'ny olona iray dia ny fiainana. |
21 | And although life is so elemental its the thing we most forget, but life causes us to forget our culture and the environment, and above all it is the violent pull of consumer society that makes it seem that if we do not get on board the train we will die.” | Ary na dia tsotra indrindra aza ny fiainana, izay no zavatra tena adinontsika indrindra, nefa ny fiainana no mahatonga antsika hanadino ny kolontsaina sy ny tontolo manodidina antsika, ary ambonin'izany rehetra izany, dia ny tosika maherisetran'ny fiarahamonina natao fotsiny hanjifa no mahatonga azy ho tahàka ny hoe raha tsy tafakatra ao anatin'ny lamasinina isika dia ho faty.” |
22 | “We are the poorest. | “Isika no mahantra indrindra. |
23 | My definition is from Séneca: “Poor is he who needs a lot.” | Ny famaritako dia avy amin'ny Séneca: “Mahantra izay mitady lava.” |
24 | Because he who needs a lot, which is everybody, these are the poorest.” | Satria izay mitady lava, izay isika tsirairay, ireny no mahantra indrindra.” |
25 | “We believe that narcotraffic, not the drug itself, but narcotraffic, is the worst scourge that we have recently been supporting in Latin America.” | “Inoantsika hoe ny fanondranana zava-mahadomelina, fa tsy ny zava-mahadomelina amin'ny maha-izy azy, no aretina ratsy indrindra izay nozakaintsika tsy ela akory izao taty Amerika Latina.” |
26 | “And we do not defend any addiction, but the repressive route is failing, and it has now been many decades failing, so we say: ‘We must snatch the market, take away it's reason for being, that is, snatch the market from them.'” | “Ary isika tsy miaro izay rehetra fiankinan-doha, fa tsy mahomby ny làlana famoretana, ary efa ampolo taona maro izany no tsy nahomby, noho izany dia miteny izahay : ‘ Tsy maintsy alaina ny tsena, esorina ny antom-pisiany, izay no izy, alaina amin'izy ireo ny tsena.'” |
27 | “I advocate from a personal point of view to live with moderation, because to live you have to have liberty and to have liberty you have to have time… So I am moderate to have time, because when you shop with money you are not buying with money, you are buying with the time from your life that you had to spend to have that money.” | “Misolovava avy amin'ny fijery manokan'ny tena aho ny mba hiainana amin'ny antonony, satria mba hiainana dia tsy maintsy manana fahalalahana ianao, ary mba hananana fahalalahana dia tsy maintsy manana fotoana ianao… Noho izany mahalala onona aho mba hanànana fotoana, satria rehefa mitondra vola miantsena ianao, tsy hoe fotsiny mividy amin'ny alàlan'ny vola, fa mividy miaraka amin'ny fotoana avy amin'ny fiainanao izay nanànanao nolaniana nividianana izay vola izay.” |
28 | “It's worthwhile to live intensely, and you might fall one, two, three, twenty times, but remember that you will get up and return to start. | “Tena mendrika iainana araka izay tratra ny fiainana, ary mety hidaraboka in-dray, roa, telo na in-droapolo ianao, saingy tsarovy fa hitsangana sy hiverina hamerina indray ianao. |
29 | (…) Defeats are for those that stop fighting, dead are those that stop fighting to live.” | (…) Ny faharesena dia an'ireo izay niato tsy nitolona, ary ireo nitsahatra tsy nitolona mba ho velona no maty.” |
30 | “What some people call the the planet's ecological crisis is the consequence of the overwhelming victory of human ambition, that is our victory and also our defeat.” | “Izay antsoin'ny olona ho krizy ekôlôjikan'ny planeta dia vokatry ny fandresena mitalakotrokotroky ny nofy tsy hay tohain'ny olombelona, izany no sady fandresentsika no faharesentsika.” |
31 | “The wars will continue and therefore the fanaticism, until nature calls us to order and makes our civilisation viable.” | “Hitohy ireo ady ary hatrany hatrany ny fanarahana an-jambany, mandra-panaitran'ny natiora antsika handamina sy hanao ny sivilizasiônantsika ho azo iainana.” |
32 | Pepe, now 77, lives in a modest farmhouse with his wife, Lucia, and his three-legged dog. | 77 taona izao i Pepe, miaina aminà trano tsotsotra any ambanivohitra miaraka amin'i Lucia vadiny sy ilay alikany tsy manana afa-tsy tongotra telo. |
33 | The couple sell Chrysanthemums for a living. | Mivarotra voninkazo Chrysanthemums no fidiram-bolan'izy mivady. |
