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.”

I agree. I am fully supportive of Japan’s bravery to go down this road putting their culture above financially selling out. If they were to ask me, t would tell them to study what group would best keep both their country and future moving forward. Not sure that is capable to be done. If I was in their situation, I think I would try to get as many Americans with Japanese ancestry to move home. I would then try to get white Christian conservative families to relocate to Japan.

I think both would fail so they go down with the ship.

This sounds like Trump talking about paying people to have children. I notice he didn’t say taxpayers.
He is kicking the van down the road on social security and the program will be more corrupt than beneficial. Far more corrupt, but he just loves federal spending.

The could make a 3-5 generation decision and immediately have 3-5 kids per woman. However their current young men and women won’t even date or interact with each other.

Eventually, the Japanese will figure out how to procreate babies in fertility treatment facilities and they will force the Japanese to bear children, even if they do not want them.

Would “controversy erupt” if American Indians put out a call to have more kids?

And what about someone saying Somalia needs more white people?
