From laws stopping 'shrinkflation' to reforms of the healthcare system, the Spanish government will struggle to pass new legislation after Catalan separatist party Junts withdrew its parliamentary support from the Socialist-led coalition.

Following the centre-right separatist party Junts per Catalunya's recent decision to withdraw support from Spain's ruling Socialists (PSOE), the Spanish government is now also facing a parliamentary blockade after Junts pledged to block its legislative agenda.

Junts and the PSOE, whose fragile majority in the House of Deputies depended on 7 Junts MPs, were never natural bedfellows.
