The singer expressed desire for real change to take place in the country – the kind that everyone at the protests wanted to see.
Regarding her success at the Eurovision Contest, Dara said that this victory is very meaningful to her, but she hopes it is also important for young people, because it is a sign that negative energy can be overcome "with a strong spirit, love, and dedication to what we do". I hope this year will be incredible for our country, the singer added.

"You are now part of European politics," Radev told her, as he welcomed her to the Council of Ministers.
"A lot needs to be done to make Eurovision happen here," the singer told reporters after her meeting with the Prime Minister. "My task is to continue doing what I love and develop this potential, which is just beginning to shine on the international stage," Dara said. She added that her priorities are developing Bulgaria's music and breaking onto the world stage. "I hope we can instil in Bulgarians a love for music and have more reasons to come together," the singer shared.
