The Spanish Government has called for an investigation into the controversial 18th birthday party of Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal, following serious allegations that individuals with dwarfism were exploited and that women were paid to attend based on specific breast measurements. Social media model Claudio Calvo has claimed that Yamal paid for 12 women fitting a particular description to join the celebration.
The party took place on July 13 and was attended by around 200 guests, including friends, family, and teammates. The incident has sparked outrage, particularly from the Association of People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism (ADEE), which has threatened legal action against Yamal. In response to the backlash, the Spanish government is considering a significant fine and an investigation into what has been labeled a mafia-themed event.
Recent reports from Marca are causing quite a stir over a player named Yamal. His recent actions could result in a massive fine, possibly reaching £867,000. This situation isn’t just significant because of the financial hit he might take; it also raises some serious questions about the message it sends to young fans and the impact on societal norms.
Jesús Martín, the General Director of Disability within the government, has been vocal about the necessity of ensuring that this investigation receives the approval of ministers. His statements reflect a deep concern about the message that might be sent if influential individuals believe they can escape accountability for their actions.
Martín voiced a significant concern regarding the disparities in the legal system, noting that it appears to function in favor of those with wealth and power, as opposed to the average individual. He remarked, “People with money and influence believe they are above the law, and that’s troubling.” This highlights a rising frustration among many who see a major divide in how justice is served across different socio-economic groups.
