This law aims to combat racism and create an egalitarian society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new law also provides a protocol to direct racism complaints to the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office and the referral of victims to the Public Defender\u2019s Office as well as other entities.<\/p>\n<p>Vinicius, 22, has repeatedly complained about the Spanish authorities\u2019 and LaLiga\u2019s inaction around the issue of racism.<\/p>\n<p>Following the latest racist abuse he suffered at Valencia\u2019s Mestalla Stadium on May 21 during a league game, Vinicius tweeted, \u201cRacism in Spanish stadiums existed even before I was born.
