Citizens react to the selection of Miss Dominican Republic Universe 2026"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Santo Domingo.-<\/strong> The election of Melissa N\u00fa\u00f1ez as Miss Dominican Republic Universe 2026 continues to generate divided opinions among the pageant&#8217;s followers. Although several citizens consulted considered that the new queen has the qualities to represent the country with dignity, others insisted that the representative from Saman\u00e1, Valentina Campion, was the favorite and deserved to take home the crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a tour conducted by this media outlet, some interviewees stated that the jury&#8217;s decision was correct, while others expressed their disagreement and pointed out that Miss Saman\u00e1 stood out for her poise, elegance, and stage presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zeneida was one of the people who expressed that her favorite was the representative from Saman\u00e1. \u201cI liked the one from Saman\u00e1. She had so much poise, her elegance; she had it all. Of course, sometimes we aren&#8217;t always winners,\u201d she commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend reading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For her part, Nicole explained that, although she does not usually follow beauty pageants, she knew that Valentina Campi\u00f3n was among the favorites both nationally and internationally. However, she understands that the final answer may have influenced the result. \u201cFrom what I saw on social media, the answer she gave was what kept her from winning. The one from Concepci\u00f3n de La Vega gave the best answer, and the winner is also very beautiful, she has the bearing of a queen; now what we have to do is support her,\u201d she expressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all opinions were favorable to the verdict. A citizen asserted that the representative from Saman\u00e1 should have won the crown, considering that \u201cshe was prettier, had a better presentation, spoke better, and literally gave it her all,\u201d even going so far as to claim that the result \u201cseems to be bought.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another person consulted agreed that Saman\u00e1 was the strongest candidate. \u201cFor me, Saman\u00e1 was better because it had many more expectations to offer. Even so, I understand that it was a good choice, regardless of everything,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Israel also recalled that the representative from Saman\u00e1 was one of the public&#8217;s favorites, although he supported the jury&#8217;s final decision. \u201cYes, I am satisfied with the winner because she has the poise to be a queen and represent the country,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, another interviewee described Melissa N\u00fa\u00f1ez&#8217;s selection as fair, although she acknowledged the performance of several finalists. \u201cThe one from Saman\u00e1 was very pretty, I even liked her dress more. La Vega was very good, Saman\u00e1 too, but the one who won did an incredible job,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opinions gathered reflect that, despite Melissa N\u00fa\u00f1ez&#8217;s coronation, Valentina Campi\u00f3n managed to establish herself as one of the public&#8217;s great favorites. However, a significant portion of those consulted understands that, beyond personal preferences, it is appropriate to support the new queen in her preparation to represent the Dominican Republic on the international stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo.- The election of Melissa N\u00fa\u00f1ez as Miss Dominican Republic Universe 2026 continues to generate divided opinions among the pageant&#8217;s followers.
