FC Barcelona: Lamine Yamal's father speaks out on birthday party controversy

This is the controversy making waves in Spain these days. Lamine Yamal is under scrutiny because of his 18th birthday party. His father has responded.

Lamine Yamal's birthday celebration continues to spark debate in Spain. The uproar stems from the presence of individuals with dwarfism who were hired to perform shows and entertainment activities. This choice, considered discriminatory, led the Association of People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism (ADEE) to file a complaint, which also triggered a government investigation.

Approached in the street in recent hours by journalist Andrea Suñé, Mounir Nasraoui, Lamine Yamal’s father, declined to comment on the controversy. Regarding the party, he simply stated that "everything went well" and invited the reporter to "go look for the information".

When asked about the complaint filed by ADEE, he simply replied: "I don't know," without offering further details.
