Con El Mazo Dando: 12 years raising the flags of revolutionary unity and free peoples

Published at: 11/02/2026 08:00 AM

For 12 years, Con El Mazo Dando has become a communication trench for revolutionary forces. Every Wednesday, on the Venezolana de Televisión (VTV) screen, and the various streaming platforms, the general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, does the tireless work of preserving the legacy of Commander Hugo Chávez, through his videos that remind us that his word is more alive than ever.

In this context, and in the midst of the multiple attacks, sanctions and blockades that the Homeland has faced over the years, Con El Mazo Dando has become a space not only for the defense of the truth, but also a permanent forum for calling for the unity of revolutionary forces under any circumstance.

“They believed that with the departure of Commander Chávez, the Bolivarian Revolution was over. They didn't count all the effort a president made and a love for the People and the People for their president. And the conscience of that People. Today, every day, the Bolivarian Revolution and its people are more united than ever,” Cabello recalled in his program No. 518.

In addition, every time, the one also known as one of the Iron Horses of the Revolution brings us the last proclamation made by Commander Chávez on December 8, 2012: “Unity, unity and more unity. That must be our motto! (...) the answer of all of us who feel the Fatherland even in the guts, as Augusto Mijares would say, is unity, struggle, battle and victory”.

Based on that message, the captain always remembers that one of the greatest strengths of the Bolivarian Revolution is the civic-military union, forged by the Commander and which, with President Nicolás Maduro at the helm, was transformed into a popular-military-police fusion, which I have allowed to continue winning in each of the battles that arise.

These constant calls have also made it clear, especially in electoral processes, that no group interest can outweigh the interests of the Bolivarian Revolution. “At this point we are not for group greed, we are for unity,” said Cabello in his program No. 515.

A sign of this permanent call for unity is that, in the recent elections of 2024, the revolutionary forces achieved a sustained growth in their militancy. “And that has to do with national unity,” said the captain.

Throughout these 12 years, Cabello, together with the videos of Commander Chávez, has made it clear that unity is not only vital for Venezuelan revolutionary forces, but also for the free peoples of the world. “The Great Homeland calls on us united, all of us, against imperialism, or whatever it comes in disguise,” he reiterated.

“The counterrevolution that is still alive there, attacking, conspiring, subordinated to imperialism, using intrigue, lies, defamation, insult, trying to undermine the unity of revolutionaries (...) What should be our response to these attempts at counterrevolution? More unity, more unity and more unity, and more strength and more revolutionary and anti-imperialist consciousness, ” Chávez said in one of the videos shared by El Mazo.

In this sense, and in the face of one of the toughest battles that the Homeland is facing today, after the kidnapping of the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, and the first female combatant, Cilia Flores, by imperialism, Cabello continues, from this communication trench, to call for revolutionary unity to continue fighting until it wins.

“We are united as a single block, a solid rock is the Bolivarian Revolution, it is our People, our Armed Forces, they are our police forces, we are well united, they heard, very united. We have demonstrated it a thousand times (...) We are accompanying Sister Delcy, the party, the Armed Forces and the police forces, in the difficult management she has, in the difficult task she has. We are working with her with our people to move forward,” she said in her program No. 558, reaffirming that we will not rest “until we can bring back our brother President Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores (...) We know how to wake up, fight, resist and win.”
