MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Around 2,000 pensioners invaded the ranch of Mexican President Vicente Fox on Saturday, demanding the return of money owed to them from a World War II worker program in the United States, local media reported.
It was not clear if Fox was at his ranch in the central state of Guanajuato at the time the pensioners, some riding horses, forced open fences to enter his heavily guarded property. Fox often spends weekends there resting.
The protesters later left the ranch after being promised a hearing with a high-ranking government official, local media reported.
The pensioners, who provided extra labor in the United States during and after the war, are claiming the return of 10 percent of their salaries that was withheld from them during a 1942-1964 work program.
They say the money went into a savings fund, which in total was now worth millions of dollars.
