"QUEREMOS REPRESENTAR A LA MERITOCRACIA": Parisi sobre posible invitación de Carter y Jiles al PDG

I came across an interesting article called “QUEREMOS REPRESENTAR A LA MERITOCRACIA”: Parisi sobre posible invitación de Carter y Jiles al PDG. It talks about how leaders of the political party “Partido de la Gente” in Chile are considering inviting two outspoken personalities, Jose Antonio Kast and Pamela Jiles, to join their party.

Basically, these two people have gained popularity because they are known for their anti-establishment views and for being critical of the current government. They are seen as representing the voices of those who are disenfranchised and frustrated with the political system.

However, what caught my attention was the mention of “meritocracy.” The article discusses how “Partido de la Gente” sees themselves as representing meritocracy - the belief that people should be rewarded based on their abilities and achievements, rather than their social status or connections.

While I think meritocracy is an important concept, I also am aware that in practice, it can be difficult to achieve. As someone who has worked in various industries, I’ve seen firsthand how social connections and privilege can sometimes play a role in who gets ahead.

Overall, I found this article to be interesting because it highlights the tension between the desire for a more meritocratic system and the reality of how difficult it can be to truly achieve that. It also raises questions about how we can work to create a fairer and more equitable society.
