Four hours after powerful earthquakes devastated parts of Venezuela’s northern coast and the capital of Caracas, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele announced on X that he had offered aid to the Venezuelan government to help deal with the aftermath of the tragedy.
Ninety minutes later, Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez retweeted the message from the Central American leader – a man whom the regime’s Chavista movement has long regarded as a political nemesis – not only thanking him for the offer but also instructing Venezuela’s foreign ministry to coordinate the support.
“Solidarity between our peoples is an invaluable force at times like these,” wrote Rodríguez, former vice president of ousted leader Nicolás Maduro.
Beyond the solidarity such tragedies inspire and the accompanying political rhetoric, Rodríguez has little room to turn away any government willing to lend a hand during this crisis.
