MADRID (Reuters) - Key European Union legislation including reforms of its power market and climate change goals are up in the air after Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called a snap election just as Spain is due to take the reins of the bloc.

Sanchez surprised even many in his own government on Monday by calling a snap national election for July 23 when he was expected to hold out until the last moment in December.
