Italy isn’t just in an economic slump, its population is also sagging, pushing the country into its biggest demographic crisis in more than a century.
The number of people in the country fell for a fifth year in 2019, and deaths exceeded births by almost 212,000, the biggest gap since 1918. President Sergio Mattarella put the issue in stark terms, saying it concerns “the very existence of our country.”
“Families are the connective tissue of Italy,” he said. “Families are Italy. This trend needs to be reversed.”
...
While immigration could help, the figures there are also not encouraging. Italy’s migratory balance declined 18% last year, with immigrants exceeding emigrants by only 143,000.
Italy’s population is about 60 million and Eurostat projections see it declining to less than 56 million than by 2050. That sets it apart among the euro zone’s biggest economies: France and Spain will record population growth in the period, while Germany’s will be little changed.

Very depressing when this is regarded as a problem instead of a blessing.
Yeah, don't us whites know that we're supposed to go extinct for the crimes of our ancestors.
If Chuck or a mod reads this feel free do delete my account. I would do it myself but I don't seem to be able to find a delete account option. phpBB should have such an option but I guess this isn't stock phpBB.

Relax. A drop of 4 million people in 30 years is no reason to get so defensive about the white race.
No, people cheering sub replacement birth rates in white people is.

No here is cheering. No is cheering about Japan's birthrate problem either. My guess you don't care about that though.
You might want to reread Riedquat's post again.
