ADEE's legal action highlights the ongoing issue of discrimination against people with dwarfism.

Spain's prior ban on bullfighting with people with dwarfism shows a precedent for legal action in this area.

How did the heavy police presence and community response influence the outcome of the planned demonstration?

The low turnout demonstrates the limited success of far-right groups in mobilizing significant support for their anti-immigrant agenda in Torre Pacheco, a town with a substantial Moroccan population and economic ties to Moroccan agricultural workers. The contrast between the threatened violence and the actual, small-scale protest reflects the complex social dynamics of the town and the failure of far-right incitement to create widespread support. The heavy police presence likely played a role in deterring violence but didn't completely prevent the planned demonstration.

How will the sale of land beneath these housing units benefit both the homeowners and the Basque government?

This initiative addresses a challenge stemming from subsidized housing built on public land, where ownership reverts to the government after 75 years. By selling the land to homeowners, the Basque government aims to both generate revenue for new public housing and prevent the repossession of nearly 9,500 homes. This approach converts a potential problem into a financial opportunity and avoids potential social disruption.
