The Venezuelan government has no links to the so-called ALBA
Houses operating in Peru, said on Tuesday Armando Laguna,
Venezuela's ambassador to Peru. Laguna dismissed a report
of Peruvian legislators who accused Venezuela and Bolivia
of ideological infiltration.
In a meeting with the foreign press, Laguna said that in
Peru some offices that promote free surgeries to poor people
in Venezuelan and Bolivian cities are mistakenly called as
ALBA Houses. The Venezuelan ambassador said that these offices
had nothing to do with the Bolivarian Alternative for the
People of our America (ALBA), AP reported.
The ALBA is an international treaty with the following signatory
countries: Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Honduras and
Dominica, Laguna said.
