Venezuela press condemns 'autocrat' Chavez (2002)
Venezuela's major newspapers have welcomed the ousting of Hugo Chavez, heaping condemnation and insult on the deposed president.
Nowhere were the attacks more virulent than in the pages of El Nacional, which called him a coward who had brought the country to the verge of chaos.
With this miserable and cruel act, you committed the worst of your political errors and betrayed your country
El Nacional
"We all knew about his mental problems, that he would shrink when the real battle started, but we ignored his lack of scruples, which became manifest when he ordered his sharpshooters to open fire on innocent people."
"With this miserable and cruel act, you committed the worst of your political errors and betrayed your country."
El Nacional accused Mr Chavez, a former paratrooper, of "soiling the military uniform and the institution which gave you an opportunity in life".
