Belgium: André Antoine proposes to encourage immigration to rejuvenate the Walloon population.
André Antoine throws a pavement in the pond: in Wallonia, it is urgent to promote parenting and rejuvenation of the population.
Wallonia is trying to prepare for the inevitable aging of its population, particularly as a result of the increase in life expectancy.
One of Wallonia's concerns is that the elderly are becoming more numerous while the birth rate is no longer able to ensure a harmonious distribution of the generations.
André Antoine raises the problem and dares two solutions, at least one of which is radically the opposite of the ambient climate: "I plead for policies favorable to parenthood, but also to immigration which is an opportunity for the rejuvenation of our population. I know that by saying that, I do not use a politically profitable language, but I take this speech: it's time for demographic choices."

In France, people say that we should bring more migrants because our population is getting old and that's the same thing in the whole europe. Ok, our population is getting old so it's better to think about how we are going to make a stable situation instead of just taking more and more migrants until there is more of them than us. Or, you can do that, if you just want to replace the european population instead of working on an idea to motivate people to make large families.
I don't really know a lot about why we need so many people, sure, the population is getting old but it will eventually stabilise.
But yeah, politicians people don't give a fuck. Why would you try to motivate the birth rate and the family quality? That's just some old stuff from the past! Why would we waste so much effort when we can just import billions of people that will be used as tools by compagnies and bring cultural problems.
Funny thing about Wallonia, there is a huge unemployment rate amongst youth and large global unemployment rate. The region is poor and they want to bring more people.
