According to her testimony, her intention was not to discredit the value of these contests, but to invite women to find their own purpose beyond the superficial.

As a woman, don’t just look for a beauty contest to give you a forum, look for what you feel good about.“, she stressed. “Don’t enter a beauty pageant just because you are pretty; Go for a greater purpose, for something that goes deeper. “That’s what I was referring to.”
In addition to reiterating her position on beauty pageants, Fátima Bosch discredited those who take her statements out of context: “I understand that in this environment, many people tend to take things out of context for leisure. I understand that it is part of the environment in which we move, but in the end I don’t care, because one only has power in what one says, not in how other people interpret it.“said the 25-year-old girl.

Under this same situation, he extended his admiration for former reunions Ximena Navarrete and Andrea Meza, who obtained the title of Miss Universe in the 2010 and 2020 editions, respectively.
“My respect for the three of them and my admiration for them are great women, there is a reason they brought the crown to Mexico and I believe that as Mexicans we must always respect what someone has already built before you. What I achieved now, they had already achieved before. The only thing I have for them is respect,” he confessed.
