I: Good morning
There was a time when the two were in jail for the same reason: to try to change the situation of their country by violence, seeing that peaceful methods do not lead very far in front of military dictatorships. Then separated by thousands of miles, Tomas Borge, Nicaragua, and
José Mujica in Uruguay , were arrested for their guerrilla activities and confined to prisons where they faced torture and the constant threat of being "missing ". Both, in turn, were dramatic departures from their respective prisons. Over time, both as Mujica Borge would fall to the systems from fighting and become the government, although with very different results and different media. Last Monday, 1 were found in Montevideo, Borge as a representative of the President of Nicaragua, Mujica newly sworn as Constitutional President of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay. The mysterious words today are: Utopia, guerrilla and government. II: "Today's sunrise was no longer a temptation
Tomas Borge was released from prison when a guerrilla group took by assault the National Palace in Managua and demanded the release of political prisoners in exchange for the lives of MPs, ministers and relatives of President Anastasio Somoza (see Column 11/abr/09 Lithics in the blog). Pepe Mujica escaped from Punta Carretas prison along with more than 100 political prisoners in a unique event in the history of prison escapes through a tunnel that was dug patiently to give the house of a lady Suddenly, one morning, she found her kitchen full of mud muddy bearded. Borge saw the Sandinista revolution succeed by way of arms, became second in command and man drive of the new government, and then climbing
s left mouth and perverted many of the original purposes of the revolution, resulting in enriched commanders, betrayal, turns, demagoguery. Mujica, recaptured, returned to prison but was eventually pardoned to return democracy to Uruguay, he turned to politics and was elected deputy, senator, then a minister of Livestock. Last year, in the internal elections of the Frente Amplio, his party won the right to bid for the Presidency of the Republic ( Column Lithic 2/jun/09 ) and won the contest in the second round. Mujica Borge and represent two ends of the same utopian dream of the 60s and 70s: socialism in Latin America. Borge came by force of arms. Mujica for votes. A Borge has not fared so well in Nicaragua. Mujica is already the second consecutive leftist president in Uruguay and a half centuries which had a two-party system right. In Nicaragua did not work. In Uruguay is working.
III: Families
Marcela, wife of Thomas Borge, left him 5 years ago, after 16 common life. Faced with accusations of corruption and enrichment of her husband who was white, life began to unbearable for her and her children in Nicaragua, and one day picked up and brought them to Peru, and left alone in the mansion Borge. Had to ask Daniel Ortega to name him ambassador to Lima . That could be reunited with his family.

Topolansky Lucia is the president of the Senate (having been the most votes in the elections) and, therefore, is also the second person in line of succession to the presidency.
