In the Venezuelan media scene, few programs have managed to penetrate public opinion as deeply and have remained on television for their audience as is the case of Con El Mazo Dando in these 11 years.

According to the public opinion specialist, Harím Rodríguez D' Santiago, this program has not only become the most important in the country, in terms of generating public opinion, but it has also been able to combine humor and politics in a unique way.

Confidential Information and Humor

Rodríguez D' Santiago highlighted that Con El Mazo Dando is characterized by offering confidential information that is not found in any other program. In addition, the communication trench has incorporated humor as an essential element of Venezuelan idiosyncrasy, which makes it very popular with the public.

“Mixing humor with political information is one of the elements that makes Mazo Dando a program with a lot of impact on popular taste,” he said.

According to the specialist's statements, this approach to humor not only attracts supporters of Chavism, but also those with different political positions.

Keeps the Image of Chávez Alive

The specialist explained that Con El Mazo Dando has filled the gap left by Commander Hugo Chávez on Venezuelan television.

“The Mazo has a set of elements that keep Commander Hugo Chávez in force, no other program does that,” said the specialist. At the same time, he stressed that “the way in which Diosdado Cabello conducts the program is reminiscent of Chávez's style, incorporating the daily spark that characterizes Venezuelans”.

Engage with Different Audiences

The combination of unique information and humor has allowed the show to connect with diverse audiences.

“There are even children and young people who are very pleased with the form, the style, the way the Mazo videos are edited and set to music,” said Rodríguez D' Santiago, referring to the fact that the revolutionary trench has the capacity to resonate with a variety of audiences, which is one of the program's greatest achievements.

High Quality Production

Rodríguez D' Santiago assured that the anti-imperialist space has no competition on Venezuelan television.

“In terms of production, editing, editing, musicalization and post-production, the program is positioned far above any other on national television. The quality of his production has allowed him to “run alone in the career of political programs,” he said.

On the other hand, he expressed the praise for this space not only from followers of Chavism. “There are people who play the deck to have fun, to literally laugh at the political reality of the country, very Venezuelan-style,” said Rodríguez D' Santiago, explaining that this shows that he has been able to handle the cultural elements of Venezuelan humor, incorporating them into the political theme.

Renewal and Connection

Rodríguez D' Santiago emphasized that the Mazo has the capacity to renew itself over time: “You have to take your hat off with the production of this program because of the capabilities they have demonstrated to make political reality a drinkable reality for many people.”

He also concluded that Con El Mazo Dando has achieved a special connection with its audience, making it one of the most watched programs on Venezuelan television in relation to politics. Its capacity to inform and entertain has consolidated it as a unique phenomenon in the country.
