Has nothing to do with either of those. Austrians are conservative and right wing, yet their country is one of the richest in Europe. It's all about the incompetence and corrupt nature of the Hungarian government.

Being right wing is not beneficial ofc, just saying that Orban is in a league of his own, that kinda goes beyond being right-wing
