The crown buyer

BASED ON THIS VIDEO I INFER THAT THIS ISN'T TOO MUCH ABOUT BUYING THE CROWN OR CHEATING, THERE SEEMS TO BE A RACIAL ISSUE.  APPARENTLY THE WINNER DOESN'T FIT THE "DARK SKIN COLOR" STEREO TYPE THAT IS EXPECTED FROM SOMEONE BORN IN CARTAGENA. NONE THE LESS, THE ELECTED MISS CARTAGENA WAS BORN IN CARTAGENA AND SO WAS HER MOTHER, MAKING HER FROM CARTAGENA BY BIRTH AND DESCENT.  

ANALYZING BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY: IN ANY CASE, IF SHE PAID FOR HER ELECTION I THINK THAT SHE DOESN'T DESERVE TO COMPETE AT NATIONAL LEVEL BUT IF THOSE THAT OPPOSE HER ELECTION DO SO BASED ON: HER SKIN COLOR, HAIR COLOR OR ANY PHYSICAL FEATURE, THEN THEY ARE BEING RACIST AND IGNORANT.

Yes, Cartagena has a large Afro-Colombian population but actually Cartagena has quite a few Caucasian queens in recent years, for example, Miss Cartagena 2011 Laura Cantillo was caucasian and she ended up as Segunda Princesa to Daniella Álvarez and also won Miss Photogenic. But yes, there is a large dark skin population and Juliana was the only ''caucasian'' in Srta Cartagena but yes, she was born in Cartagena, but I also read she bought the crown and I think race might've had a bit to do with it as well, since like I said she was the only ''caucasian'' in the contest but IMO, all 3 other girls competing w/ her were better and the 1st runner up was robbed  but unfortunately, politics and money is what our national director is interested in :(its ashamed, and I agree, she shouldn't compete at Señorita Colombia, but unfortunately it looks like she will

Totally agree with you amiga

Agree I think she'll do well since Colombian judges love girls like her and she has a lot of potential, plus Magdalena is a powerhouse department, Taliana Vargas comes from Magdalena and look how far she went. Like I said before, I think she'll go far or maybe will even pull a Daniella Álvarez victory

OH POR DIOS, ESTO ES LO QUE LLAMAMOS EN PANAMA UN "TIRA Y JALA" LOL

YES, THIS IS A SHAME IN EITHER CASE, WHETER JULIANA CHEATED OR SHE IS JUST A VICTIM OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION.  COLOMBIANBEAUTIES IT MAY SOUND ABSURD; BUT BEING THAT COLOMBIA HAS MANY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, I HOPE THAT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FROM THE ELECTED STATE CONTESTANTS MAY WIN AND REPRESENT COLOMBIA WITHOUT CHEATING OR RACISM.

In some cases, that may be the case, it would be insane if a dominant Afro-Colombian populated department like Chocó sent a caucasian there's a huge chance it could be racism, lol, but lots of that goes on here in Colombian pageants, politics and cheating play a big role in our pageants these days that's why we rarely send the absolute best choice. As for racism in the national pageant, most of our black contestants usually get sent to contests like Miss International and the last black queen we had go to Miss Universe was Vanessa Mendoza, but since, most of our strong black beauties have been sent to Miss International but they have had success there like with Jeymmy Vargas, Lina Mosquera, Melissa Varón etc...but sadly, it has an affect sometimes, as for Juliana, she may be a victim of that, but due to the controversy about her and since she's the host girl, I'm sure she'll do well and place in the top 10. But I hope she doesn't represent us in an international contest, but sadly, a good number of our queens who have gone to minor pageants that CNB has franchise for have been due to politics and cheating
