  • Roberto Vannacci said Europe’s low fertility rate threatened the future of the continent and the world his generation knows.
  • He argued that “Reborn Europe” would be more coherent than “ReArm Europe” as an emergency strategy.
  • Vannacci predicted political upheaval involving leaders including Keir Starmer, Nigel Farage, Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz and Pedro Sánchez.

Roberto Vannacci used a debate at the Cernobbio forum to argue that Europe’s future depends not only on integration and security, but also on having more children.

“Since the theme is Europe and integration, I will try to talk about the future of Europe and the future of Italy, but in the meantime we should take it for granted that a future exists, because with a fertility rate of 1.41% in Europe, our future, the future of the world we know, will probably be short-lived,” he said.

· Roberto VannacciVannacci opened his Cernobbio remarks by linking Europe’s demographic outlook to its future.

Vannacci, leader of Futuro nazionale and a former general, said Europe should focus on creating the next generation if it wants a better future for them. “If we want a better future for the next generations, we must also think about creating the next generations, otherwise someone else will enjoy that better future,” he said.

He added that “perhaps instead of a ReArm Europe, it would have been more coherent to have a Reborn Europe as an emergency strategy.”

Vannacci also said Europe was changing as several leading politicians faced uncertainty. He claimed that Keir Starmer had already fallen, Nigel Farage was ready to launch, and Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz and Pedro Sánchez might not remain in office through 2027, or even 2026. He said Marine Le Pen had won in every possible scenario in France and described Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria as taking a defiant stance toward Brussels.
