Lollobrigida: «Defending the Italian ethnic group»- Corriere.it

I think it is obvious to all that there is no Italian breed. a false problem to imagine a concept of this nature. It exists for a culture, an Italian ethnicity: the Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida became the protagonist today of another declaration destined to cause discussion.

The exponent of FdI and the Meloni government (as well as brother-in-law of the premier herself) spoke to the General state of the birth rate and then specified what he meant by ethnicity: What Treccani defines as rcultural linguistic grouping, which I imagine that this conference tends to protect. Because otherwise it wouldn’t make sense.

The population of the world – continued the minister – is growing and many of those born in the world would like to come and live in Italy. So why worry about births in Italy? If the answer is to increase the birth rate, it is probably for reasons related to defense of that belongingto which many are linked, I in particular with pride, to what Italian culture, to our linguistic stock, to our way of lifeconcludes Lollobrigida.

On 18 April, the same FdI representative had incurred a first incident by relaunching the theory of ethnic substitution, one of the workhorses of suprematism, according to which a plan is underway to bring in more and more migrants and put European populations in the minority . Lollobrigida had therefore proposed to increase births to counter immigration. A dynamic that according to the figures they consider unsustainable.
