During the Week of Solidarity of Tres Cantos (Madrid), the municipality awarded the solidarity prize to José Carlos Bermejo for his action linked to the humanisation of care at the St. Camillus Care Centre. In his speech Bermejo recognised that the St. Camillus Centre is a small oasis of solidarity and of compassion for very frail and vulnerable people, and observed that solidarity is a question of justice. He expressed his thanks for the award that he had received and explained what this means for all the workers and volunteers of the St. Camillus Centre who are going through this period of pandemic. The prize also seeks to emphasise the importance of accepting solidarity from other people. Bermejo declared: ‘We have received help from the city council, from some citizens, from some local institutions and also from very far way, for example from Taiwan.
