José Gabriel Alemparte Mery (born 12 March 1981) is a Chilean politician and current vice-president of the reformist party, Democrats.

Alemparte gained relevance for his opposition to Gabriel Boric's government by promoting the rejection of the left-wing constitutional project (2022).[4][5][6] He has been cited by both pro-government and Boric-opponent media, which have tended to criticize or highlight his statements on Sin Filtros (TV program) or Twitter–X.[7][8][9][10] Nevertheless, he was in favor of changing the Augusto Pinochet-era constitution in 2020 and 2023,[11] last failed attempt which was dominated by conservative right[12][13][14] (the Chilean Republican Party).[15]

A close friend of Senator Ximena Rincón (also a former member of Chile's Christian Democracy),[16][17] in 2022, Alemparte was a founding member of the then new Democrats party, whose goal is to be the heir to the values of the Chilean transition to democracy through the Concertación experience (centre-left coalition). Similarly, he was appointed as vice-president of the party in December 2022.

He is a columnist for La Tercera.[18][19][20] Similarly, he has written for El Mostrador.[2]
