Madrid orders Rayo Vallecano to vacate stadium over urgent safety works amid Europes infrastructure crisis

The Community of Madrid has ordered the extinction of the concession of the Rayo Vallecano stadium as a precautionary measure while urgent works are carried out to guarantee its safety. This means that Rayo Vallecano will not be able to start the season at their home stadium.
The order comes as Europe faces a series of infrastructure challenges due to extreme weather conditions and low water levels in major rivers.
In Hungary, the Paks nuclear power plant has reduced output due to record low water levels in the Danube. The plant's operator, MVM, announced a 254 MW reduction in output to comply with environmental regulations on the temperature of water discharged back into the river. The water level in the Danube at Paks reached a record low of minus 106 centimeters.
In Romania, the Cernavodă nuclear power plant has shut down one of its reactors due to low water levels in the Danube. The plant's operator, Nuclearelectrica, said that the shutdown was a preventive measure to protect the plant's equipment. The company warned that a second reactor could also be shut down if water levels continue to fall.
The low water levels in the Danube are also affecting water supply in Moldova, where the government has declared a state of alert in the energy sector due to disruptions in the regional fuel market and low water levels in the Dniester River. The government said that the low water levels were affecting the operation of water intake stations and the supply of water to the population.
In Germany, low water levels in the Rhine River are affecting shipping and the economy. The Rhine is a key transportation route for goods in Europe, and low water levels are forcing ships to reduce their loads, increasing transportation costs and affecting the economy.
The energy and water issues come as Europe is facing a heatwave, with temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius in some areas. The heatwave is increasing demand for electricity for air conditioning, putting additional strain on the energy system.
The issues highlight the broader challenges that Europe is facing with its infrastructure due to extreme weather conditions and the need for urgent repairs and maintenance.
