Support for the coalition government of Pedro Sánchez is under increasing strain as the row over alleged phone hacking of Catalan pro-independence politicians refuses to go away.
Ministers in Madrid claim that any spying is carried out within the law with a judge's prior approval, while refusing to admit it took place. Sánchez needs the votes of the Catalan ERC party to stay in power.
