A32 5G costs anything from $150 to $300. Trust me, I know what it means to be on a budget - I’ve never owned a phone that costed over $250. However, at that price I’d much rather get something like OnePlus 6 - an old phone with amazing community support (in fact, the new OnePlus 6 I bought from China costed $150) and specs that frankly are probably going to be better than newly released “budget” phones.
They aren’t readily available here either, so I’m ordering it online. Unless you want to tell me you have less online purchase options than people in Russia.
I’ve read your comment history and you said you live around Balkans, fwiw back when I was in Montenegro in 2017 I ordered Zuk Z2 from Aliexpress, it stays well supported to this day, you should be able to do something similar.
just don’t use the official ROMs? this applies for every device btw, OEMs are not to be trusted
some phones just dont have custom roms, e.g. A32 5G, or have broken custom roms, e.g. Calls dont work on the A42 5G.
Don’t buy such phones. Personally though I’m never again buying a phone where I can’t install GNU/Linux.

Last time I bought something online(im assuming you mean other countries ) it costed DOUBLE the sale price because of import duties.
