OREANDA-NEWS. The only truly sustainable solution to the extinction of Europe is to increase the birth rate among its own indigenous population, and not to rely on arriving migrants, Czech Prime Minister Andrei Babis said on Thursday at an international demographic conference on family problems in Budapest.

"Mass and uncontrolled migration to Europe has nothing to do with the stability of our European society, quite the opposite. The only truly sustainable solution against the extinction of Europe is to increase the birth rate of its own indigenous population, which is a common direction, in particular, for the Visegrad four countries ( Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary - V4) ", Babis said.

In turn, former US Vice President Michael Pence, who also spoke at the conference, said that it is impossible to support families and migration at the same time.

"You can support families, or you can support open (for migrants) borders. But you cannot support both at the same time," Pence said.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban spoke in the same spirit. In his opinion, "the solution to the demographic crisis lies only in one plane - in the support of the traditional Christian family."
