It is difficult not to talk about politics in the face of the triumph of the 23-year-old girl who has allowed her compatriots to take to the streets to celebrate their queen’s crown.

Managua Nicaragua. The 23-year-old girl, Sheynnis Palacios, became the new Mis Universo on Saturday, after the contest held in El Salvador; Palacios gave the best answers to the questions asked by the jury and, this, combined with her physical beauty, earned her her crown.

Born in Managua, Nicaragua, the young woman graduated in Communications from the Central American University (UCA) of that country, recently closed by the government of Daniel Ortega, a regime that the now Mis Universo has openly criticized.

In El Salvador, some political figures, such as Claudia Ortiz, have congratulated Mis Universo, but not before talking about politics, alluding to the particular situation of the Central American nation.

Some Nicaraguan commentators said that as a devout Catholic, Sheynnis Palacios dedicated her last outfit in the final of the beauty pageant to the Virgin Mary; others considered that it is an allegory to the Nicaraguan songbird (Cassidis nicaraguense).

The atmosphere in Nicaragua was, moreover, hopeful, people took to the streets to wave their national flag, nothing more; She sang the national anthem and there were no ifs or buts that would stop her.

In addition to being a communicator, Palacios is a role model and community promoter; prior to this important crown in her career, Sheynnis Palacios won the Miss Teen Nicaragua 2016, Miss World Nicaragua 2021 and Miss Nicaragua 2023.

As a Nicaraguan would say on social networks: “the triumph of the new Mis Universo” made Nicaraguans “overcome fear” in the face of the prohibitions they experience in the Central American country.

In fact, it was reported on social networks that the airline that would transport Mis Nicaragua back would have received orders from the Ortega regime not to allow them to return to their country after the event. He did not have the choice of the young woman and had to give a counter-order, various Nicaraguan accounts said.
