English translation:It is supported by...
Explanation:
Dear Claire,

It´s better not to translate "cuenta con... " word by word becouse it doesn´t sound English. I prefer:

"It is supported by the Central Government..."

Good luck!

** many of the phrases can have multiple meanings depending on the context of the writing. With that--it was difficult to know exactly HOW it fit into your requirement.

There's something very rotten in the kingdom of Danmark


Explanation:
or something along that line - forgot the exact line, but somebody's being quite nasty in giving us these 0-grades
