Miss France was crowned Miss Universe on Monday. Iris Mittenaere, a dental surgery student from Lille in the north of France, at the event in the Philippines. Mittenaere, 24, edged out Miss Haiti, the first runner-up, and Miss Colombia the second runner-up.
In the final question round, Miss France highlighted the benefits of open borders when asked about the global refugee crisis. She said, In France we want to have the most globalisation that we can. We want to have the biggest exchange of people that we can. Maybe someday that will change but now we have open borders. Having open borders allows us to travel more through the world and to find out more about what`s out there in the world.
Another finalist, Miss Kenya, said, Donald Trump`s presidency may not have been the choice of many people and divided the United States. She also spoke out in support of former US president Barack Obama and said she backed Hillary Clinton to be America`s first woman president.
Miss Colombia also spoke about Donald Trump. She said, Although there are presidents who don`t get along with others, we work together to unite. Campaigns, respect and inclusivity to be able to have a social transformation that would educate our children.
