Bulgarians have rejoiced in their country’s first victory at the Eurovision song contest as fans welcomed home the singer whose party anthem Bangaranga proved an unexpected breakthrough hit.
“Dara is yet more proof that Bulgaria can win,” declared the new prime minister, Rumen Radev, of Darina Nikolaeva Yotova, known simply as Dara. He hailed “a young artist who, thanks to her talent and professionalism, has managed to rise above all the complexities and prejudices surrounding the [Eurovision] voting process”.
The final, which took place in Vienna on Saturday night, was boycotted by Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Iceland over Israel’s participation. Outside the venue, hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators had marched past chanting “boycott Eurovision”.
In the event, Israel’s entry, Michelle, sung by Noam Bettan, came second on 343 points, while Dara’s Bangaranga scored 516 points.
The United Kingdom, once again, performed poorly, with its entry, Ein, Zwei, Drei by Look Mum No Computer AKA musician Sam Battle, finishing 25th (last) with a tally of just 1 point.
Eurovision organisers highlighted that the Bulgarian entry ended up winning both the jury and public votes, which it said had not happened “in almost 10 years, since Kyiv 2017”.
