Spanish term or phrase: no está anuente que
The context:

XXX **no está anuente que** nos hemos comunicado con su persona,

The context is very delicate. It's about an investigation. I think that it means 'has not given permission' - rather than a stronger negative like 'is not willing' or 'is opposed'. Would you agree?

agree  Stuart and Aida Nelson: RAE: anuencia = permiso, consentimiento

neutral  Robert Forstag: Unless the Spanish is grossly ungrammatical, the indicative "hemos comunicado" would suggest that reference is to an action that, from the standpoint of the writer, *has actually taken place*.

does not agree that ..


Explanation:
Another option, as you wrote that "is not willing" is a rather strong negative.

This has also been suggested on proz in the past:

is non-acquiescent /about the fact / that


Explanation:
... we contacted him or her personally.

Otherwise, is non-acquiescent in the fact that we have > or in our having communicated < with him or her personally.

Also retain the same part of speech, the stylistic balance and the ex post facto vs. ex ante emphasis.

Note the preposition in BrE: acquiesce in and not to...

Example sentence(s):
  • acquiescent : receiving or enduring without offering resistance. was not as acquiescent about sharing her room as her parents seemed to think she should be...
  • Example: "I acquiesce to > in your request."
