Lamine Yamal Faces Government Probe Over Party

Barcelona footballer Lamine Yamal is now under official investigation by the Spanish government following reports that people with dwarfism were hired as entertainment at his 18th birthday party, with the possibility of a fine of up to €1 million for potential violations of disability rights laws. The Association for People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias (ADEE) has condemned the incident and pledged legal action. New allegations claim that women were recruited for the event based on specific physical characteristics, further fueling controversy. Some performers with dwarfism have defended their participation, arguing they were treated respectfully and challenging the ADEE's stance. Yamal's representatives have not commented publicly. The case has reignited debates in Spain over the ethical responsibilities of public figures and respect for the rights and dignity of people with disabilities.
