Precisely, it was the comedian Facu Díaz who denounced on his Twitch channel that, despite the fact that Motos claims in his program that lately there is not the same freedom of expression as before, he himself and those around him “demand accounts and make calls to ask for explanations.” about jokes” when they didn’t like a joke about the presenter. Other comedians have joined these words, who have also raised their voices about the situations they have experienced with the Valencian journalist.
“Pablo Motos tells you that you can’t say anything while he calls to pressure comedians to remove jokes from their shows that have to do with him,” Díaz, visibly angry, expressed on his Twitch channel.

These statements have unleashed a large number of reactions on social networks, where other comedians have given their opinion and have revealed episodes experienced with the show’s host. The cartoonist and illustrator of El Jueves, Raúl Salazar, revealed that the program team contacted him in 2019 to ask him about some satirical cartoons about the presenter. “I can confirm what Facu says. I myself was called out of good spirits by a lackey of Pablo Motos for some cartoons. And I have not been the only collaborator of El Jueves to whom this has happened,” he explained in X.
