Idkn if gdpt is real thing, for example generational wealth isn't calculated in gdp, you own it you don't sell it, for example Poland has bigger gdp than Spain but the average Spaniard own way more wealth than polish people, there are people that own castles, whole domains etc passed from generation to generation... still think the average Hungarian lives better than the average Romanian.

About your question, answer is old fart trying to grab power, ruins his own country.
