The Community of Madrid condemns acts of vandalism in Vallecas: "This is not the way to solve problems"

The Community of Madrid, through Minister of Culture, Tourism and Sport Mariano de Paco, has condemned acts of vandalism at the Estadio de Vallecas following a reported assault and property damage at the stadium's presidential box. The incidents occurred in the early hours of a Saturday ahead of the Trofeo de Vallecas match against the Italian club Cagliari, during which the venue's authority box was defaced with graffiti reading 'Presa, vete ya'.

In response to the vandalism, the Rayo Vallecano club issued a severe statement criticizing the Community of Madrid. The football club denounced the early-morning breach of the stadium and lamented what it described as an ongoing campaign of harassment directed against it.
