He became famous in 2003 when he participated in the coordination of the invasion of a Volkswagen's ground in São Bernardo do Campo.[12] He appeared again in the press in 2014, in the wake of the social mobilizations around the World Cup, especially the invasion called Occupation People's Cup (Vorlage:Lang-pt), organized by the MTST in early May[13].
