But the most original congratulation was produced in front of the doors of his house in A Coruña in the late afternoon: several ambulances have sounded their sirens to pay tribute to him.

Again, social networks have served as a platform for the call for thanks to the owner of Inditex for the resources he is allocating in the fight against the coronavirus.

The call responds to donations made in recent days by the owner of Inditex to face the coronavirus pandemic. Amancio Ortega has been one of the first to turn with the help for Spain to overcome this health crisis. He has donated more than a million protective masks , to which must be added another 10,000 that he donated at the beginning of the crisis; 75,000 protective suits, plus gloves.

In addition, as announced by the Galician businessman's company, the ERTE of Inditex has been delayed until April 15.

In fact, this week an initiative has been created for the businessman to receive the Princess of Asturias Award . Promoted by Miguel Ángel Almagro on Change.org, it already has thousands of signatures. That is why, there have been many who support the call to thank with such applause the help that Amancio Ortega is providing. An initiative that has been very well received.
