su correspondiente aplicación interesada de la Administración

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy
EDUCACIÓN PRIMARIA Y SECUNDARIA
La educación en Navarra está limitada por la ley del vascuence y su **correspondiente aplicación interesada y política de la Administración.**
En lo que esta ley denomina “zona no vascófona” son las ikastolas (Euskera language schools) las que realizan la labor pública allí donde la Administración no quiere llegar.
Sin embargo, el esfuerzo de las cooperativas no está siendo refrendado por el apoyo gubernativo y están en una situación financiera-económica muy precaria.

Discussion

axies Jul 2, 2011:
aplicación interesada y política de la Administrac ''Interesada'', makes very little sense in Spanish. ''Interesada'' could be misplaced in the text and could come after Administración''. eg. correspondiente aplicación XXX XXX y política de la Administración interesada.** o algo así. And if so it changes its meaning all together. Just a thought.

and by the Administration's self-interested and politically-motivated enforcement of it

I agree with patinba, but it would be less cumbersome in English to say:
**and by the Administration's self-interested and politically-motivated enforcement of it.**

Peer comment(s):

agree Jenni Lukac (X) : Maybe the "consequent" instead of "its correspondingly" would round out the phrase better, but this is the essence.

agree Michael Powers (PhD) : I also agree this is the essence. For "aplicación" here another option would be "implementation" - Mike

agree Sam Cogdell : I agree with Jenni and Michael--either 'consequent' or 'corresponding' sounds better to me than 'correspondingly' here. Also agree with Michael, it's probably more a question of 'implementation' rather than enforcement.
