Union Sues Against the Sale of the Clara Camarão Refinery, Petrobras, in Rio Grande do Norte

The Union of Petroleum Workers of Rio Grande do Norte opposes the sale of the Clara Camarão refinery, located in the city of Guamaré-RN. The union filed a public action in the Federal Regional Court of the 5th region to try to block the sale of the refinery and other Petrobras assets in the state.

Since a request from the union had already been denied in the first instance, the category chose to appeal to the second instance, thus seeking victory in court. The union emphasizes that the goal of the action in the courts is to block the advancement of negotiations and avoid “economic, social and environmental damage.”

“We anticipate serious consequences in the economic, political, social, cultural, and environmental spheres, highlighting the loss of revenue, royalties, and projects aimed at citizenship actions, and especially the loss of jobs at a time when the country’s economy is devastated due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Ivis Corsino, general coordinator of Sindipetro.

Last year, precisely in August, Petrobras announced it would sell all state assets in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The state-owned company already has proposals for the purchase of the assets with values exceeding US$ 1 billion. Petrobras has been negotiating with 3R Petroleum.

The union understands that the sale of Petrobras assets is illegal and, for that reason, it was deemed necessary to take legal action. The first instance understood that the decision to sell or not the assets in the state of Rio Grande do Norte is an internal decision of the state-owned company.
