Speaking to the Guardian from his small one-bedroom Montevideo home, Mujica says he realises that asking his counterparts to adopt a more sober lifestyle may not go down well.

However, as Pope Francis preaches humility, calling on hundreds of Argentinians not to fly to Rome to celebrate with him but to donate the money they would have spent on travel to the poor, is the tide changing on world leaders leading extravagant lives?
