“A joke in very bad taste”
For her part, questioned in this regard, the Minister of Social Inclusion, Youth, Families and Equality, Loles López, who came to Huelva to inaugurate the second Andalusian Forum for Research and Innovation in Social Services held at the UHU, pointed out that this practice is “a joke in very bad taste” that “can have serious and harmful consequences.”
In this sense, the counselor has highlighted that “she doesn’t see any fun in it” and considers that the young people who have been injured “will think the same”, since she has stressed that “a lot of awareness” and “a lot of sensitization” is needed in the face of this type of challenges and that, to achieve this, “we work in networks with educational centers.” “But this requires collective thinking from the entire society,” and “their involvement,” to “manage to avoid this type of actions and other more serious ones that are seen in other areas.”
