Petrobras Employees Promise Relentless Protests In Response To This Measure By Pedro Parente, Know Which Refineries Are Involved

Petrobras presented to the market a proposal to sell control and operations of four oil refineries, two in the Northeast and two in the South. The proposal was presented by the company’s president, Pedro Parente, but it still needs to be approved by the Board of Directors and the Executive Board of the state-owned company. The proposal envisions that the private initiative would hold 60% of the shares and Petrobras would retain 40% of the units.

The partnerships would also include 12 land and water terminals. In the Northeast, the units that may be privatized are the Abreu e Lima Refinery and the Landulpho Alves Refinery. In the South, Petrobras aims to transfer the controlling stake of the Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery and the Alberto Pasqualini Refinery. Together, the four refineries have a capacity to process 846 thousand barrels per day. In total, the state-owned company has 13 refineries and holds 99% of the refining capacity in the country. The company’s president, Pedro Parente, commented that the sale should begin this year and may be completed next year. Source EBC.

Union movements and Petrobras oil workers are already organizing in an attempt to halt the privatization process. Representatives of the category claim that this maneuver to sell their shares in the form of partnerships is merely a way to hand over the company to the private sector and all Brazilian treasure through “legal” means. According to Data Folha, 70% of Brazilians are against privatization, are you included in this percentage?

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.
