The leaking of a remarkable letter from Vice-President Michel Temer to President Dilma Rousseff detailing a long list of grievances from their working relationship has put new strain on the coalition between the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) and the Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (PMDB).
