Weed-Legalizing President Launches Website To Keep In Touch With Fans

Fans have a new way to keep in touch with outgoing President José “Pepe” Mujica.

The leftwing politician launched a website on Saturday, where he says he’ll direct his messages to the public after leaving office.

The Mujica administration passed a series of progressive laws, including the legalization of gay marriage and the creation of the world’s first legal, government-run marijuana trade — both in 2013.

Mujica steps down from the presidency on March 1, when Tabaré Vázquez takes office. Vázquez also belongs to the leftwing Broad Front.
