Looks like an escaping issue. Try replacing your outer ' with $outer$
or something like that:

select *
from crosstab
(
$outer$ select date_trunc('minute',"timestamp") as "timestamp",remota,valor from
historico order by 1,2 $outer$
)
as
(anet timestamp without time zone,
re1 numeric,
re2 numeric,
re3 numeric
)
;

And see if that helps.
