President and his tractor:

In Uruguay, politicians have to declare their wealth. Their president's only cars are 2 beetles. The rest of his assets mainly consists of a small flower farm, 3 tractors, and a bit of money saved in his bank account.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.

The same one yes if I remember It is half his salary every month that goes to charity and he also stays at his own house not the presidential residence.

from wiki

He has been described as "the world's 'poorest' president", due to his austere lifestyle and his donation of around 90 percent of his $12,000 (£7,500) monthly salary to charities that benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs.

Apparently he only flies economy class.
Some pictures of the president and his beetle, which he drives himself.
