Jesús Comín y Sagüés was a Spanish Carlist politician and
soldier. He has been twice elected deputy to the Republican Cortes. He is also
recognized for his role during early days of the Civil War, when he decisively
contributed to Nationalist seizure of Zaragoza and large part of Aragón.
During his lifetime Comín gained recognition mostly locally
in Zaragoza and Aragón; it was only the Carlist press which hailed him
nationwide as a great orator and "catedrático". His very belligerent
interventions in the Cortes at times gained him attention beyond the Traditionalist
realm.
His zeal earned him also some ridicule on part of the
hostile press, which did not miss the opportunity to quote him declare in
excitement that "yo soy Jesús Comín, y les doy mi nombre porque cuando
digo una cosa me gusta responder de ella" (I am Jesus Comin, and I give
them my name because when I say something I like to answer for it), drawing
mocking comparisons to Nero or Napoleon.
