Spanish term or phrase: se compran formalmente
COUNTRY: PERU

El gobierno regional, por consiguiente, no goza de una base política sólida y está expuesto a censuras públicas o masivas, si efectúa una clara posición de la defensa de la inversión minera. En consecuencia, ni los gobiernos locales de Andahuaylas y Aymaraes; ni el gobierno regional de Apurimac *se “compran” formalmente* y de manera pública la defensa de la inversión minera como modelo posible de desarrollo económico de la región.

actually believe


Explanation:
En Chile, "comprarse" algo, es un término figurado muy coloquial, que significa creer firmemente en lo que alguien está diciendo o afirmando y por el contexto pienso que en Perú puede tener el mismo significado.

En este caso: ... do not actually and openly believe...
