Controversy Erupts After Italian Minister Calls for Boosting Birth Rate to Avoid 'Ethnic Replacement' (Video)

Day by day, it becomes harder to deny that mass migration aims to erode and ultimately annihilate the unique cultures of local and national communities.

Italian Minister of Agriculture, Francesco Lollobrigida, warned that Italy’s low birth rate and an increase in irregular immigration could lead to “ethnic replacement,” sparking anger from the country’s left-wing opposition.

The brother-in-law and close political ally of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s remarks come in response to a recent report which found Italy has one of the world’s lowest birthrates with fewer than 400,000 births in 2022.

Lollobrigida’s comments were made at the national congress of Cisal Tuesday, where he discussed the issue of demographic growth and the importance of creating a welfare system that enables people to work and raise a family. Lollobrigida emphasized that boosting the birth rate is not about convincing people to stay at home more but instead creating an environment where young couples can find employment and build a future for themselves and their families.

The solution is to help young couples find employment. The answer is to enable everyone to read data that reveal that demographic growth and better state aid work side by side, even within our national territory.

We cannot yield to the idea of ethnic replacement. The ethnic replacement means: Italians have fewer children, so we replace them with someone else. That’s not the solution. In the regions with fewer welfare programs, a more significant demographic collapse is reported than in other regions.”

Sounds like more neoCON “diversity is our strength” BS. Some of us will fight to save Western Civlization. Others will seek to destroy it through immigration and replacement.

The Neocons were never on the side of Western Civilization.

Yes, that's their excuse for making war on Iraq, Syria, Libya (and, they hope, Iran). But as Pat Buchanan pointed out, every time we make war on a distant land, it brings their refugees into our land.

Which is a win/win for Neocons. Break the Muslim states, then import their angry refugees to diversity (and deChristianize) the West.

Why is ‘diversity’ only a priority in White countries? Why doesn’t anyone ever call for ‘diversity’ in Arab countries, or African countries?

Or China, or India, or Israel ... etc.

Speaking, the problem out loud is the second step in combating it…

Having the balls to start doing it, regardless of what the psychotics on the left scream about Is a damn good start.

We need to do it here as well… And fast.

You don’t have to have a shrinking population. What needs to happen is for extended families to be encouraged now, so that we don’t get in the same pickle as Japan (that is trying to pay young couples to move into aging communities or to move out of Tokyo). Extended families are a cheap way (tax dollar wise) to help address both the lack of affordable daycare as well as eldercare. It literally is the most fiscally conservative, as well as traditional values conservative solution. How many more babies do you think people will have when they no longer have to pay $300 a week in daycare per child?

Japan is in serious trouble. You seem not to understand how economies work.

From the numbers I’ve seen, Italy is one of the worst countries regarding declining birth rates, either on par or worse than Japan. Poorer countries are breeding like rabbits and inundating the West. It is an invasion. The breakdown of traditional family units within “post-post-modern” Western society should be a huge concern, as its one of the biggest contributors to overall decay. From bright beginnings to decadence.

Teddy Roosevelt called it “racial suicide.”

Christian women need to follow what God guides them to do instead of the world.

Yes Japan has been very good at protecting its ethnicity and culture

So, how and who’s paying for the pension the exploding number of retired people given that the number of working age people is rapidly shrinking?

How DARE him come out and speak the truth! How dare him give credence to “The great replacement theory” that we all know is happening. The next thing you know, he’ll be talking credibly about voter fraud.

Francesco Lollobrigida? Any relation to Gina?

 

That's how you solve the problem of a declining birth rate. Let Italian women be hot again!

open borders may be the wrong solution but that doesn’t mean shrinking populations to extinction is a good thing like some here seem to think

If western countries don’t have babies, their old age pension programs (social security) will eventually go bankrupt. So if they want to avoid starvation in their old age, have babies now, or increase immigration.

I wouldn't count on third world immigrants funding social security.
