Lamine Yamal at the heart of a controversy in Spain after hiring dwarves for his birthday

But Lamine Yamal now finds himself at the center of a controversy in Spain related to these festivities. People with dwarfism were hired for recreational purposes to provide entertainment during the evening, actions prohibited by law.

This Sunday, the Association of People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism (ADEE) denounced these acts in a press release. "ADEE condemns and denounces the hiring of people with dwarfism to act as entertainers at the recent ^18th birthday party of footballer Lamine Yamal. […] ADEE considers this type of practice intolerable, as it perpetuates stereotypes, fuels discrimination, and harms the image and rights of individuals […] And it is even more serious when these incidents involve public figures like Lamine Yamal."
