President Dilma Rousseff resigned on Tuesday the Health Minister Arthur Chioro, affiliated with the PT and the position indicated by the Mayor of São Bernardo do Campo, Luiz Marinho, one of the friends of former President Lula.
Irritated with a interview in which Chioro says the call to Health "heading towards a collapse" due to lack of resources, Rousseff dismissed the telephone PT on Tuesday morning, in a brief conversation and cold, according to the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo.
The decision aims to open more space to stroke the PMDB and keep the supervised party stands at the time that requests for impeachment begin to transact the House of Representatives.
