MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish Economy Minister Nadia Calvino said on Friday that one euro zone country had broken its pledge to support her in her bid to become Eurogroup chief, seen by some at home as a sign of Spain's weakness in the EU.

"We had 10 votes secured. Someone didn't do what he said he was going to do," Calvino told radio station SER on Friday. She declined to say who she thinks the person was.
