Costa Rica also received Qatar 'gift', but their president had enough sense NOT to keep it

In Costa Rica, Qatar also donated an armored Mercedez Benz to be used by the president.
I despise president Chaves, but he had enough political instinct to know that the gift looks REALLY bad. So he donated the car to be auctioned off and pay social programs.
