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.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Air bubbles from 3 million years ago extracted from Antarctic ice reveal that the current level of CO₂ has already surpassed that of the ancient, warm world, when the sea was up to 20 meters higher and there were no factories or cars burning fuel.

Brazil went to China to seek money and technology to reinvent TV and bring the internet to places where fiber does not reach. The mission negotiated with the BRICS Bank led by Dilma and paved the way for a Chinese rival of Starlink to connect the Amazon.

About 150 workers are driving, one by one, 4,585 BYD electric cars off a 220-meter ship at the Port of Itajaí. The 48-hour mega-operation is the largest shipment from the Chinese automaker in Santa Catarina this year.

Iceland is going to lower a drill five kilometers to reach rock at 400 degrees and try to extract clean energy on a scale that a common well cannot achieve.
