According to Maduro, the program's main goal is to highlight the positive side of Venezuela, as well as Venezuelan constants. The program also aims to show how the Venezuelan people advance and pursue the process of building the Venezuelan identity, which is characterized by optimism, work, and commitment, and to maintain the country's strength, greatness, and robustness, Maduro added.

During the episode, he stressed the importance of building an economic model for Venezuela in the 21st century, saying this will be done through independence and sovereignty, condemning the campaign funded by the US empire to harm the Venezuelan spirit through social media platforms.

On his part, Ghassan Ben Jeddou, the chairman of the board of directors of Al Mayadeen, who was present among the audience in the studio, said the Arab and Islamic peoples think highly of the Venezuelan people, who see a global leader in Maduro as he represents the aspirations of the people who are fighting today's battle and one of the most important exemplars in the Global South and in the forces of global liberation.

Ben Jeddou pointed out that on Al Mayadeen, "With Maduro and More" will not only address the Arab and Islamic peoples only, but also Latin Americans and Spanish-speakers who are of Arab descent, adding, "We are interested in our Arab people knowing how President Maduro thinks, how he plans, how he implements, and how he leads his country."

Sensitive, important files in Venezuela and Latin America

During the episode that was broadcast Sunday on Al Mayadeen, Maduro touched on sensitive and important issues for Venezuelans.

He stressed the need to unite the efforts of all institutions in South America to prevent the United States from taking over the Amazon and deploying its military forces to the region, describing the US plans as crazy and aimed at seizing and striking the environmental diversity in the Amazon.

Maduro highlighted that the Amazon is one of the main locations necessary for achieving balance on this planet, stressing that balance must be restored to it.

According to the Venezuelan President, the first steps that must be implemented are clearing the Amazon of illegal mines, imposing a zero-logging policy, and stimulating soil renewal and complete reforestation, based on the spiritual strength and energy inherited across different generations of the Indigenous peoples who inhabit the Amazon.

In a separate context, Maduro commented on a press release stating that the United States has allowed the sale of liquefied petroleum gas to Venezuela until July 10, 2024. He considered that this is the colonial model that seeks to impose the diktats of the United States empire against Venezuela forever, if possible, underlining that Venezuela -- a free, sovereign country -- will not allow these diktats to pass.

Internet and social media blockade against Venezuela

Regarding the Venezuelan people's peaceful demonstrations, Maduro said these masses spontaneously took to the streets to defend peace and confront fascism and hatred that the West wants to impose, reject the imposed sanctions and denounce the embargo, and support their Bolivarian government.

The Venezuelan leader stressed that the number of these masses must be doubled and these demonstrations must be highlighted, pointing to an imposed internet and social media blockade against Venezuela.

Touching on tourism, economists present in the studio pointed out that Venezuela fought two important battles that Maduro started at the International Tourism Fair in 2022 when the Venezuelan President asked to restart the cable car, which is the longest and highest cable car in the world and is today one of the most important elements to revive tourism.
