    Thanks.

    The correct spanish translation would be:

    ¿Puedes preguntarle a Candela por qué me ha bloqueado?

    Remember that in Spanish there are three different but similar ways of saying why / because:
    - Porque: "I am sad because I am poor" / "Estoy triste porque soy pobre"
    - Por qué: "Why are you sad?" / "¿Por qué estás triste?" (used in interrogative sentences)
    - Porqué: "I don't understand why you are sad" / "No entiendo porqué estás triste" (very similar to the first one, here "porqué" can also be used as "el porqué", which is more similar to "the reason why", which I think is the easiest way to match the english way of expressing the same thing)

    Hope it helps.
