Retiree unusually protests suspension of retirement: “I’m alive!”
Without receiving his pension for 7 months, retiree Ricardo Santana de Arruda Leme found an unusual way to protest: he laid a coffin in front of the door of the INSS in the city of Piracicaba-SP.
Ricardo ran into the bureaucracy of the INSS and simply cannot prove that he is alive. His papers were used by criminals and he ended up listed as dead by the INSS.
“They claim that I’m dead, that I’m dying,” he told TV Globo in the region. “I haven’t been paid for seven months. It’s not fair, I don’t think I deserve it. I’ve worked straight all my life.
The retiree hired a lawyer who went through all the paperwork to prove he was alive, but the INSS gave him 85 days to resolve the issue. Interestingly, the same problem already occurred seven years ago, but at the time he managed to prove that he was alive.
After a two-hour protest in front of the INSS on Thursday (2), the pensioner received a document stating that he would receive the benefit again.
“I am very relieved. I think we should pursue what we are entitled to. I was very well looked after”, vibrated the retiree.
