English term

by officials who won’t talk on their own

English to Spanish Social Sciences Journalism
Hola, necesito su ayuda con esta expresión, gracias.
At the same time, the journalists told me, designated administration spokesmen are often unresponsive or hostile to press inquiries, even when reporters have been sent to them by officials who won’t talk on their own.
Al mismo tiempo, los periodistas señalaron que, a menudo los voceros del gobierno no responden a las preguntas de los medios o se muestran hostiles, incluso cuando los propios funcionarios los han remitido a ellos porque no quieren dar declaraciones.

Apr 10, 2014 18:41: changed "Kudoz queue" from "In queue" to "Public"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Wolf617, Alejandro Alcaraz Sintes

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Note from asker:
Gracias por tu ayuda, pero el enunciado me resulta algo raro. Al mismo tiempo, los periodistas señalaron que, a menudo los voceros del gobierno no responden a las preguntas de los medios o se muestran hostiles, incluso cuando los propios funcionarios los han remitido a ellos por funcionarios que se niegan a hablar por sí mismos.
o podrá decirse: incluso cuando han sido remitidos a ellos por funcionarios que se niegan a hablar por sí mismos
