The candidates in the presidential elections have received so far donations of about one million lei in total, although the legal expenditure ceiling per candidate is of five million euros.
In the top of donations received is ACL candidate Klaus Iohannis with donations amounting to 320.000 lei, followed by the coalition supporting Victor Ponta with an amount of donations received of 312.000 lei.
Monica Macovei despite the campaign office she holds, posters and internet campaign, has had a donations fund of less than 12,500 euros, while Elena Udrea allegedly spent from donations around 25,000 euros, amounts much lower than the cost, so far, of the campaigns candidates Basescu prefers.
