Diputado del PRI exige comparecencia del director de Pemex por derrame en río Pánuco

El diputado Rubén Moreira, del PRI, pidió la comparecencia del director general de Pemex ante el Congreso por los derrames de hidrocarburos en el río Pánuco, al sur de Tamaulipas.

Moreira presentó un punto de acuerdo para que Juan Carlos Carpio Fragoso informe sobre la magnitud de los derrames frente a la refinería Francisco I. Madero y las acciones tomadas. El legislador advirtió que el daño afecta ecosistemas y el sustento de familias pescadoras en Tamaulipas y Veracruz.

Pemex informó el 15 de junio que realiza muestreos en el canal de Varadero y drenajes pluviales para identificar el origen. La empresa aseguró que se mantienen barreras de contención y que los monitoreos no detectaron hidrocarburos en fase libre.

La Secretaría de Marina encabezó una mesa de trabajo tras la detección de la mancha. La directora de Turismo de Ciudad Madero declaró que el incidente no afecta las actividades en playa Miramar.

Periodistas del medio Elefante Blanco denunciaron que elementos de la Marina los obligaron a borrar material el 10 de junio mientras cubrían el derrame.
