{{Conservatism in Hungary}}
The dominance of the political right of [[Hungary between the two world wars|inter-war Hungary]], after the collapse of a short-lived communist regime, was described by historian [[István Deák]]:

{{blockquote|Between 1919 and 1944 Hungary was a rightist country. Forged out of a counter-revolutionary heritage, its governments advocated a "[[Christian nationalism|nationalist Christian]]" policy; they extolled heroism, faith, and unity; they despised the French Revolution, and they spurned the liberal and socialist ideologies of the 19th century. The governments saw Hungary as a bulwark against [[bolshevism]] and bolshevism's instruments: [[socialism]], [[cosmopolitanism]], and [[Freemasonry]]. They perpetrated the rule of a small clique of aristocrats, civil servants, and army officers, and surrounded with adulation the head of the state, the counterrevolutionary [[Miklós Horthy|Admiral Horthy]].<ref>{{cite book |author-last=Deák |author-first=István |chapter=Hungary |editor-last=Roger |editor-first=Hans |title=The European Right: A Historical Profile |year=1963 |page=364}}</ref>}}

Horthy's authoritarian conservative regime suppressed communists and fascists alike, banning the [[Hungarian Communist Party]] as well as the fascist [[Arrow Cross Party]]. The fascist leader [[Ferenc Szálasi]] was repeatedly imprisoned at Horthy's command.<ref name=":8" />

Since 2010, [[Viktor Orbán]] of the [[Fidesz]] party has been [[Prime Minister of Hungary]]. Orbán's positions are a blend of [[soft Euroscepticism]], [[right-wing populism]], and [[national conservatism]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/jan/05/hungary-one-party-rule |location=London |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |title=Hungary: One-party rule |type=editorial |date=January 5, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/populist-premier-set-for-defeat-in-hungarian-election-9161938.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220817/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/populist-premier-set-for-defeat-in-hungarian-election-9161938.html |archive-date=August 17, 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |location=London |newspaper=[[The Independent]] |first=Stephen |last=Castle |title=Populist premier set for defeat in Hungarian election |date=April 22, 2002}}</ref><ref>{{citation |title=A populist's lament: Viktor Orbán has made Hungary a ripe target for doubters |date=November 22, 2011 |url=http://www.politics.hu/20111122/a-populists-lament-viktor-orban-has-made-hungary-a-ripe-target-for-doubters |newspaper=Politics.hu |place=Hungary |access-date=September 3, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171116131138/http://www.politics.hu/20111122/a-populists-lament-viktor-orban-has-made-hungary-a-ripe-target-for-doubters/ |archive-date=November 16, 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
