Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on January 06, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Julio Maria Sanguinetti! Your leadership during Uruguay's transition to democracy remains unforgettable. Sure, inflation might have soared higher than birthday balloons back then—but hey, at least you kept things interesting!

Despite economic hurdles and turbulent times in office from 1985-1990, your dedication as a statesman helped guide the nation toward stability and democratic values that still resonate today. Here's hoping this year brings fewer financial rollercoasters—and more cake.

Wishing you laughter-filled celebrations surrounded by friends who appreciate both your political resilience and timeless sense of humor—because after all you've been through economically speaking—you've definitely earned it!
