Vázquez issued a public statement following the event, noting that the Council had been expecting the Norwegians to bring a group of performing trolls, and as no studies had been done into the compatibility of Dukuwaquas and Selmas, no liability could be afforded to her Council.[1]

President Vázquez attended the final of the 427th Quidditch World Cup, on 11 July. Shortly before the match started, she was spotted by Daily Prophet reporter Rita Skeeter chatting to the International Director of the ICWQC, Mentor Metaxas.[2]
