The Director General of Disability, Jesús Martín, has explained that the Ministry headed by Pablo Bustinduy has asked for clarification as to whether people with dwarfism were insulted at the sportsman's 18th birthday party, since the law does not impose penalties, but these acts have been prohibited for three years.
In particular, the Spanish Government intends to regulate it asa serious violation, with fines of between EUR 600 000 and EUR 1 million; in general, to make a person with disabilities public in the reform of the law which the Council of Ministers intends to adopt today.
The person responsible for disability has expressed concern that "a young man who has so many followers, an influencer who has so much influence on young people, can have a reflection on youth".

We're worried that people with money, people with power, are considered unpunished.
"We are concerned that people with money, people with power, are considered unpunished," regrets Jesús Martín, who recalls that in Spain it has been banned for almost three years and that the Ministry "will not stand still" in the face of "these indications" spread in the media.
"Open an investigation and, depending on the conclusions, make decisions," he said.
On the other hand, the Association of Skeletal Achondroplasia and Other Dysplasia and Persons with Enanism (ADEE), a member of the Spanish Confederation of Persons with Physical and Organic Disabilities (Cocemfe), will challenge Lamine Yamal in court for hiring persons with disabilities for her birthday party.
The association has condemned the events in a statement and announced "legal and social actions to protect the dignity of persons with disabilities".
