By Duncan Mil

March 30, 2016 - The Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB) announced on Tuesday it was leaving President Dilma Rousseff's governing coalition and pulling its six ministers in her Cabinet.

The move cripples her fight against impeachment proceedings in Congress, and could put Vice President Michel Temer, leader of the PMDB, in the presidential seat.
