The Navy is even on standby for cause of that. The subject of oil stains on the beaches of the Northeast is so popular in Boatos.org that our team would even be able to “request music on Fantástico” such is the amount of denials on the topic. And if you think this The subject will die soon, he thought it was quite wrong. In recent days, a new story went viral on social media and drew attention of the Boatos.org team. According to the publications, the person responsible leak would have already been identified: it would be Venezuela, more specifically an extraction well in Cantaura. According to the story, the oil had been leaking for days and left the Navy on alert, as well as the Army and Air Force. Various publications still demand action from the President of France Emmanuel Macron and the Pope Francisco. Check it out: Version 1: “WHERE’S MACRON? THE POPE? THE WORLDWIDE MEDIA? 6 days ago this spill oil production takes place in Cantaura, in the Venezuelan state of Anzoátegui. As According to the complaint, the oil has been leaking for about a week and no action was taken. Oh! But it’s in Venezuela… So you can….” Version 2: “WILL BE !!! AN INVESTIGATION IS REQUIRED!!! Close to the Cantaura Passenger Terminal – North of Venezuela, this river flows into the Atlantic!!! Get to the Navy of Brazil, and other Control Bodies urgently!!!”. > ## Ancelmo Gois wrote a text criticizing Eduardo Paes? We check Version 3: “So now help spread this too: And where will the UN, the Pope, Greenpeace activists, the world's environmentalists, the girl autistic person and Macron, at this moment, after this disclosure? *Close to the Terminal of passengers from Cantaura, in the north of Venezuela, this river flows into the Atlantic! Did you understand? Let us ensure that these images reach the Navy of Brazil, and other control and government bodies, urgently! Navy of readiness. We don't really know why, because it is on standby, certainly EB and FAB are too.” ﻿ ## Oil leak in Cantaura (Venezuela) reached the Atlantic and left Navy on standby? The information shook many Brazilians who can't wait to identify the truly responsible for the oil stains on the beaches of the Northeast. But it will be that this story about the oil spill in Cantaura (Venezuela) being the responsible for the stains is it true? It is not! Let's get to the facts! When reading publications, it is easy to get caught up in ear. The messages present several characteristics of online rumors, such as the vague, alarmist nature, errors in Portuguese and the lack of sources reliable. If that wasn't enough, the Boatos.org team also has a vast history of denials on this subject, such as the story that pointed out that Shell would be responsible for the oil spill. Also the case that indicated that responsible for the oil slicks would be Venezuela, more specifically a leak in Maracaibo. And finally, the story that stated that the French multinational Mapa was responsible for the oil spill in region. Intrigued by the question, we decided to look for more details on the subject and we discovered three things. The first is that, in fact, there was a leak in Cantaura. The second is that he is not responsible for the oil stains on the Brazil. And the third is that the leak has already been controlled. Around October 11, 2019, news reported a possible leak in the region. On the other hand, they also reported that PDVSA (oil company of Venezuela) was working to resolve the situation. All this before of the news reaching Brazil. However, on October 19, a resident posted on Facebook that the problem had already been solved and there was only a little dirt left to be clean. Thus, the thesis that the place was leaking falls apart. The same occurs with the theory that the leak would be the cause of the stains. oil on the beaches of the Northeast. Contrary to what history says, Cantaura did not it is in the Atlantic, but about 100km from it. Another important point is the volume of oil leaked. The leak in Cantaura It doesn't even come close to the tons that have been collected in Brazil. In addition After that, the leak stopped. Therefore, the Navy is not on standby because of this. When searching upon more information, we discovered that, in fact, the Navy put together a plan of war against possible oil contamination in the National Park of Abrolhos (BA). In other words: the Navy is (as we hope) on standby, but for other reasons. Finally, this entire story has already been denied by the website e-farsas. In a text quite detailed, the fact-checking service explained the reason clearly of this case being just a rumor, like the fact of the magnitude of the leak itself, which was small. In summary: the story that says the oil leak in Cantaura (Venezuela) reached the Atlantic and left the Navy on standby is false! Beyond Cantaura not stay in the Atlantic, the spill (which, in fact, occurred) has already been controlled and did not come close to the tons recorded in the Northeast.
