JOSÉ JERÍ: THE "PAJERÍN" MEME. In Peru, politics and memes often go hand in hand. José Jerí became the subject of countless jokes after the nickname "Pajerín" spread across social media, turning him into one of the country's latest viral political memes.

As with many Peruvian politicians, online discussions often become bigger than the political story itself. Memes, edited videos, and jokes can spread nationwide within hours, becoming part of everyday conversations.

Whether you find it funny or not, the phenomenon reflects a uniquely Peruvian tradition: politicians are constantly roasted, parodied, and transformed into internet characters.

Mention "Pajerín" to a Peruvian who follows politics, and you'll probably hear the latest joke before any discussion of policy.
