Jair Dominguez: "Mossos, if you send me a message I will give you my new address and don't scare the neighbors"

BarcelonaNew chapter in the soap opera of the arrest warrant against Jair Dominguez for him to appear in a trial driven by Vox. In a publication on X, the comedian explained that this Friday the Mossos d'Esquadra tried to locate him at a house where he no longer lives and also at his ex-wife's house. "Dear mossos, I am told that you passed by my old house this morning (I no longer live there) and also by my ex-wife's house. If you send me a private message, I will give you my new address so you don't go around in vain or scare the neighbors," said Dominguez in a message in which he tagged the X profile of Mossos d'Esquadra.

After it emerged this Wednesday that a judge had issued an arrest warrant against him to appear in a trial prompted by Vox, Jair Dominguez on Thursday recounted his perplexity on El món a RAC1. On Wednesday, the comedian shared a screenshot on X of the judicial resolution ordering the police to find his address and, once located, arrest him. "I'm at home calmly and they can't find me. It's true that I, as someone who lives outside of Barcelona and works there, live on the AP-7. So, perhaps it's difficult to find me, but not that much. I'm not hiding in the mountains. In fact, right now I'm at home trying to assemble a sofa. It's all a bit strange, it seems like an operation to show off," he said, ironically, in the interview.

The judge's arrest warrant is to inform the comedian that on April 14th at 10 in the morning he must appear in court for comments he made against Vox in a comedy segment within El matí de Catalunya Ràdio. Dominguez assured that he did not need the summons to remember that he had the trial, because he was already fully aware. "The summons is written as if we were in the 19th century and it seems like they have to put some kind of noose around my neck and parade me through the streets. It's more frightening than it actually is," he reflected. He detailed that the resolution did not arrive at his home, but his lawyer received it, and another copy went to TV3.

Dominguez's first reaction upon learning of the resolution was to resort to sarcasm, as he made clear in his post on X. "What do you mean find my whereabouts if I'm in Banyoles," he said in his tweet. For the trial on April 14th, he will have to answer for the comments he made against Vox in a comedy segment within El matí de Catalunya Ràdio, where on February 15, 2021, he called to "fight them with a punch to the mouth." The case had been dismissed, but the Barcelona Court ordered its reopening in June 2023. The plaintiff, Vox, celebrated the judicial decision. "Now he will have to account for calling for violence against the voters of the third party in Spain," said the party's general secretary, Ignacio Garriga, in a message also on X.

In the same publication, Garriga described Domínguez as a "third-rate separatist buffoon who thought he was immune to collecting millions from TV3 and Catalunya Ràdio". Currently, Jair Domínguez is one of the presenters of the TV3 program Està passant, where he can practically be found every day if the police don't find him at his home, where the comedian doesn't seem to be hiding. Domínguez responded to Garriga's message by predicting that Vox will lose the lawsuit: "I'm saving this tweet for when you and your shitty party have to pay the costs of the lawsuit".

When El món a RAC1 asked him if he regretted what he said, Dominguez was clear and forceful. "I said it with absolute certainty and I would do it again. It is one of my tenets. I like to go big and save myself metaphors. We keep saying that violence is not an option, but they keep using it against us. Perhaps we should not turn the other cheek," he argued.
