Miss Peru - Franchise Controversy

Franchise Controversy

Reinas del Peru organization was in charge of sending representative to both the Miss World and Miss Universe plus other minor international pageants. In 2005, Percy Luzio and another co-worker left the organization for irreconcilable differences between Percy and other workers in the organization, most namely, Marina Mora who was 2nd runner up at the Miss World 2002 pageant. Since leaving, Percy Lucio has designated himself as the new person in charge of the Miss Peru Universe franchise. His new organization is called Corporation de la Belleza (Beauty Corporation)and has the responsibility of sending its winner to the Miss Universe pageant and the other minor pageants that Reinas del Peru was in charge of. Reinas del Peru however, felt betrayed by Luzio's actions and have focused on working towards the Miss Peru World pageant which from now on will be held separately.
