20. Is there a limit on the amount a candidate can contribute to their own election campaign?

"Donations from natural persons to an individual party, being it both in cash and in kind, executed directly or through intermediaries, cannot overcome the maximum amount of €100000 in one year, exception made for donationsby reason of death"

candidates can contribute to their own campaign following the same rules that apply to natural persons.
