A similar thing happened in Austria in 2016 where election results were cancelled due to campaign finances violations.



Yeah, but here it's so obvious. The BEC (Central Electoral Bureau) should have checked constantly the campaign spending. They didn't do that, probably also not to upset the ruling parties that were doing their own financial "optimizations" for campaign spending, and completely ignored the fact that this guy that was doing influencer campaigns and was promoted all over TikTok was declaring nothing, so 0 spending. When you ask the institutions that are supposed to guard our country and democracy to close their eye so you can do whatever you want, you shouldn't act surprised when someone even more evil will take advantage of that.
