    "Since 2008 until today we have lost around 200,000 newborns," she said. "Two-thirds of them are due to the fact that potential parents are missing. That's because of the decline in births that dates back to 30 years ago."

    In 2023 alone the government allocated around 1 billion euros for measures aimed at helping women cope with motherhood and work.

    But Ardiano Bordingnon, president of the National Forum of Families, believes this is not enough, and that an EU intervention is required.


    Exactly how are they supposed to "intervene"?  Pass a law that EU women have to get pregnant or pay a fine?  What?
