In the video, she can also be seen giving a speech. “Let us always strive to keep our doors open. Let us always strive to help our brothers and sisters. And I will repeat it, ‘Borders exist only on maps. But they must never exist in our hearts,’” Fatima said passionately.

How did the internet react?

Fans congratulated Fatima on kickstarting her journey as the new Miss Universe. One Instagram user compared her to Princess Diana and wrote, “Mexican Lady D.” Someone else commented, “The best Miss Universe.”

Another user wrote, “The most kind and lovely Miss Universe we could ever have. She has the biggest heart in the World.” A fan called her ‘The Queen of Hearts’ and another said, “She will be the best Miss Universe, and time will tell.”

However, there were some criticisms, too. A user commented, “Pretending to do a little good will not cover up all the bad things the whole world knows about the organisation.” Someone else wrote, “Give an interview to an open media that asks you real questions.”
