Valencia 2009. Demolition seems to be everywhere in the side streets and alleys of the old town. Old living quarters crumble. New concrete buildings are rising, without faults, without identity. All out of direct sight from the tourist routes and main roads.

If you neglect a house for fifty years, a slum is what you get. People can't live in shacks. Vote for us, we will clean up this mess! We will build you a modern city, a city that can measure up to the entire world. All of us will live a new life.

Valencia 2009. En la ciudad vieja, hay demoliciones en casi todos los barrios. Las residencias de antes están derrumbándose. Se erigen edificios de hormigón que no tienen defectos ni carácter. Todo eso fuera de la vista, fuera de las rutas turísticas y las calles principales de la ciudad.

Si no se ocupan del mantenimiento, después de cinquenta años habrá sólo ruinas. La gente no debería vivir en casuchas. ¡Vote por nosotros, vamos a limpiar esta porquería! Construyamos una ciudad tan moderna como las más modernas del mundo. Viviremos todos una nueva vida.
