How is it that the system is both legitimate and entitled to cancel parliamentary elections, but not local ones?

When you win an election somewhere, you take the position that any violations found are just a fabrication, and the cancellation is an illegitimate act and vote substitution

A protest is currently being held in support of canceling the parliamentary elections. It is dominated by the PPDB and its affiliated organizations, that is, the exact same people who have been campaigning for months against...the cancellation of regional and local mayors, if they are from the PPDB.

Help me find my way: how is it that the system is both legitimate and entitled to cancel parliamentary elections, but bought, dependent and without the right to cancel local ones? (when the one who was canceled is from the PPDB) Lastly, should an election be canceled if violations are found, as you said at the protest today, or should it not be and is this "trampling on the people's vote", as you have been repeating for months?

This is what Kristian Škvarek wrote on "Facebook".

When you win an election somewhere, you take the position that any violations found are just a fabrication, and the cancellation is an illegitimate act and vote substitution. Today you are protesting with the demand that the elections be canceled because violations were found. Which is the last one? You cannot be shameless hypocrites without a guiding principle in every case, who judge only according to your personal and tribal interest.

I openly declare that I will support your protest today and your demand to cancel the parliamentary elections the second you stop your campaign "they are shooting at our mayors, this is illegitimate!", sprinkle ashes on your head and publicly admit that the system SHOULD immediately cancel a given election if there are violations found. Because it cannot be either-this-way, or-that-way, solely and solely based on whether the case harms your people and parties or not.
