Article 8, Law on funding of, and control over funding of, political campaigns, as last amended on 16 October 2014 No XII-1251.

Comment

Political campaigns of other independent political campaign participants (other than political parties) shall be financed from:
1) donations of natural persons; 2) own (personal) funds; 3) interest on the funds kept in the political campaign account.

This regulation suggests that candidates are able to take loan and to spend it on campaign BUT the Law does not regulates that directly.
