Acknowledgements

We are very grateful to Stéphane Druel for useful discussions and for bringing [32, Theorem VI.1.3] to our knowledge. This paper also owns a lot to Michael McQuillan who caught a number of mistakes in previous versions, called our attention to the relevance of foliated canonical singularities to our study, and made a number of other thoughtful suggestions. We also thank the anonymous referee for pointing out some inaccuracies. J. V. Pereira was partially support by Cnpq and FAPERJ. Finally, we acknowledge financial support from ANR-16-CE40-0008 project Foliage and Brazilian-French Network in Mathematics.
