Scientists warn that a capital city with millions of inhabitants could run out of water by 2030, while entire megacities enter an invisible crisis by draining ancient aquifers faster than nature can replenish them, pushing populations towards dry taps, depleted wells, and urban water collapse.
The Extraordinary General Assembly of the Board of Directors of Petrobras Approved Changes to the Company’s Statute in April, and Since Then, Union Entities Have Been Mobilizing Against the Measure.
According to Representatives of the Petrobras Workers’ Union and BR Distribuidora, the Day After the Statute Change Approval, the Sale of Eight Refineries of the State Company Was Announced.
According to Aragão Ferraro Advogados, the Legal Advisory Responsible for the Action, the Statute Change Aims to Ensure That “Castello Branco and Petrobras Evade Public and Social Control, and Can Create or Extinguish Subsidiaries More Easily. This Measure Directly Affects the Privatization of the Company, Which Must Create Subsidiaries to Sell, for Example, the Refineries.”
