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?

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

Thanks, Robert. I also read the sentence as if the action of communicating already took place.
