      Ell havia fet la guerra al bàndol «nacional», però s'havia desenganyat de la política veient com els joves franquistes, que no havien anat al front, s'apuntaven al nou règim per fer carrera, sense altre ideal que el mando en plaza i una col·locació ben remunerada.
      He had made war on the "national" side but had become disillusioned with politics seeing how the young Francoists, who had not gone to the front, signed up for the new regime to make their careers, without any other ideals except the mando en plaza and a well-remunerated position.
