So I read this article today about how the UDI is accusing Gabriel Boric of prioritizing “students on internships” for key positions during the health crisis in Chile. Can you believe it?
Basically, the UDI party is claiming that Boric, who is part of the Communist Party and a presidential candidate, has been giving top jobs to people who are still in school or just finished their studies, rather than experienced professionals. They think this has caused a lot of problems during the pandemic, because these young people don’t have enough knowledge or experience to handle the complex issues that have come up.
Personally, I can see both sides of the argument. On the one hand, it’s important to give opportunities to young people who are just starting out in their careers. I remember when I was fresh out of college, it was really hard to find any job at all, let alone one in my field. So if Boric is trying to help those who are just starting out, I think that’s admirable.
But on the other hand, I can see why the UDI is concerned. During a crisis, it’s important to have people in charge who really know what they’re doing. When it comes to something as serious as public health, we can’t afford to have inexperienced people making decisions that could impact a lot of lives.
Overall, I think this article raises some important questions about how we choose leaders in our society. Do we want people who have a lot of experience and know what they’re doing, or do we want to give opportunities to those who are just starting out? It’s a tough call, but I think it’s important to keep the balance in mind and make sure that everyone has a fair shot.
