In a recent editorial, Tal Cual newspaper editor Teodoro Petkoff slammed Chavez for touting Venezuela's medal-winning chances ahead of the Olympics while sending an oversized and unprepared delegation to China.
"The megalomaniac thought the increased number of athletes was an achievement," Petkoff wrote. "Someone more careful would know it wasn't sensible sending athletes without winning possibilities."
In other comments made yesterday, Chavez announced a $950 million additional investment for Venezuela’s petrochemical industry and denied that he would eliminate private property.
