Deputado do PRI exige comparecimento do diretor da Pemex por vazamento no Rio Pánuco

O deputado do PRI Rubén Moreira convocou o diretor-geral da Pemex a comparecer ao Congresso para prestar esclarecimentos sobre vazamentos de hidrocarbonetos no Rio Pánuco, ao sul de Tamaulipas.

Moreira apresentou um ponto de acordo exigindo que Juan Carlos Carpio Fragoso relate a dimensão dos vazamentos em frente à refinaria Francisco I. Madero e as medidas adotadas. O parlamentar alertou que os danos ameaçam os ecossistemas e o sustento de famílias de pescadores em Tamaulipas e Veracruz.

A Pemex declarou em 15 de junho que está realizando coletas de amostras no canal Varadero e em drenos pluviais para identificar a origem. A empresa afirmou que as barreiras de contenção permanecem instaladas e que o monitoramento não encontrou hidrocarbonetos em fase livre.

A Secretaria da Marinha liderou um grupo de trabalho após a detecção da mancha. O diretor de turismo de Ciudad Madero afirmou que o incidente não afetou as atividades na Praia de Miramar.

Jornalistas do Elefante Blanco relataram que militares da Marinha os forçaram a apagar filmagens em 10 de junho enquanto cobriam o vazamento.
