While Mexico decided to boycott the Miss Universe pageant this year and with some contestants in the nationals of Guatemala and other Latin American countries decided to quit, Nicaragua meanwhile affirms its participation at the pageant. The Miss Nicaragua spokesperson, Eduardo Guevara, told Canal 15 that although they are against what Donald Trump has said about Mexican immigrants, they will still honor their contract with the Miss Universe pageant.
“We clearly do not agree with what Trump said about the Mexicans [immigrants], but if we will not participate, we can be sued,” clarified Guevarra. “We can’t blame the organizers of Miss Universe by the statements of Donald Trump.”
Daniela Torres, Miss Nicaragua 2015, is currently preparing herself for the pageant. No Nicaraguan beauty has ever won the Miss Universe crown and so far it has only landed in the semifinals for three times. In 2013, Natasja Bolivar was in the Top 16. She also won the Best in National award.
