Aid not political

[NewsWhore]

Venezuelan Ambassador Belisario Landis has dismissed claims that Venezuela's aid to the DR is political, and said that those rumors are malicious. Santo Domingo Mayor Roberto Salcedo also denied the rumors, saying that Venezuela has a history of helping Dominicans and that the aid is not for political gain. Venezuela has offered 500 pre-built homes, monetary assistance and has sent technicians and engineers to the DR to help with the post-flooding reconstruction efforts. There have also been discussions about sending petroleum to the DR to help with possible shortages.
