The award was presented at the Rector of the University by the Vice President for Student and Employment, Maribel Sanchez-Mora, dean of the Faculty mentioned, Henry Shepherd, the president of the Platform, Roberto Barcelo, and Vice President of the Foundation Antonio Campillo Juan Perez Ferra, who have excelled during the ceremony the importance of social engagement in these times of crisis.

Precisely focused crisis good parts of the comments of those present, since, as stated Roberto Barcelo, "at a time comparable to the Spanish Civil War, many people lack the least".

Barceló said "We need, more than ever, raising critical voices and express the outrage we live, but also, more than ever, mobilize consciences and hands to regain the rights that we had won."

This was the same idea as the rector defended Maribel Sanchez-Mora, who said that "we must assert that public authorities do not entirely solidarity work," adding that "It will be increasingly difficult to give the award for the state of crisis, but will signal that solidarity is not over. "

For his part, Dean Enrique Pastor said "this award seeks to give visibility to a person who exercises a solidarity action.

For those involved in the award, "When public institutions and social organizations promote an award like this can not forget, especially in times of crisis as we live, to whom it is addressed implicitly solidarity action: people experience poverty and need, people who live an eviction juggernaut that destroys their lives and, ultimately, people who make and all the perils excluded or lifetime never have known the meaning of renunciation welfare involuntary "
