His career began  in the left-wing rebellion movements during the 60s, as a member of the  Venezuelan Communist Party (PCV). He led a groundbreaking reform of the left in  Venezuela assuming a critical stance toward left-wing authoritarianism and the  Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia (1968) with the foundation, in 1971, of the  party Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS). <\/span><span>An economist graduated from  the Universidad Central de Venezuela, Mr. Petkoff has been member of the MAS  national directive, presidential candidate, and elected congressman in many  occasions. In 1996 he became Minister of Economic Planning under the presidency  of Rafael Caldera. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span>In 1998 he breaks with MAS when the party decides to support  the candidacy of Hugo Chavez whom, Petkoff then predicted, would incarnate  military authoritarianism. In 1999, after his tenure in the Caldera  administration, he became director of the evening newspaper El Mundo,  modernizing its content and style, including editorials that were objectively  critical of the Chavez administration. He then leaves El Mundo to found, with  his team, the newspaper Tal Cual, which he currently directs. In 2005 he wrote  the book Two Lefts, where he clearly exposes his democratic political views. <a title=\"http:\/\/www.iamericas.org\/en\/events\/1680-freedom-of-the-press-in-venezuela-and-latin-america\" href=\"http:\/\/www.iamericas.org\/en\/events\/1680-freedom-of-the-press-in-venezuela-and-latin-america\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freedom of the Press in Venezuela and Latin America with Teodoro Petkoff Libertad de Prensa en Venezuela y Latinoam\u00e9rica (Event will be in Spanish) April 6, 2011 6:30 p.m. \u2013 7:45 p.m. Weaver Conference Center, Institute of the Americas, UC San Diego Campus | Get Directions No charge to attend.
