Spanish term

indefensión competencial

Spanish to English Other Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
I'm having a bit of difficulty finding the right term for this. It's a text related to the presence of the Catalan language in audiovisual material.

I understand it to be something like "an increasing powerlessness to influence/have a say in regulatory decisions'


El marco regulatorio español. En este contexto, la arquitectura de la regulación estatal de las telecomunicaciones y la gestión de el espectro radioeléctrico suponen una indefensión competencial creciente de las entidades de autogobierno subestatales como la de los autogobiernos autonómicos vasco y catalán.
Proposed translations (English)
4 denial of competence
4 lack of competitive defense
3 an (increasing) inability to compete

Thank you all for your help I finally settled on ".. an increasing conflict of competence"
Francois Boye Mar 26, 2020:
One authority denies competence to another
Lisa McCarthy (asker) Mar 26, 2020:
response from client I queried the meaning of this phrase with the client as this was the response I received:

"....Que suponen un conflicto de competencias cada vez mayor para las entidades de autogobierno subestatales (quiere decir conflicto entre las competencias del Estado y las de las comunidades autónomas)

So, it appears that it's more of a 'conflict' issue, but I still don't get why they would choose a word such as 'indefensión' in this case.

neutral philgoddard : This was my first thought, but doesn't competencia mean jurisdiction rather than competition?
