Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro celebrated the premiere of eight new episodes of “Nicolas,” a biographical series based on his life and rise to power. Presented as a birthday tribute at Teatro Principal in Caracas, the president thanked producers for portraying his personal and political journey authentically, noting that the story goes beyond one man. Maduro took aim at U.S. narratives about his leadership, describing them as repetitive “refried” propaganda. He praised the creativity behind the production, which was made with limited resources. First Lady Cilia Flores highlighted the emotional balance of the series, which portrays both hardship and joy within the Bolivarian Revolution.
