MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's conservative People's Party said on Monday it believed it could break a political deadlock and form a government after the hard-right Vox hinted it will not insist on being part of a coalition in exchange for its support.

Vox on Sunday said its 33 lawmakers would "support a majority" for the right-wing bloc in the Spanish parliament's lower house to stop the Socialists (PSOE) making pacts with Catalan and Basque separatists and forging what the hard-right party has described as "a government of national destruction".
