French activists commented on the recent statements made, on Wednesday, by the head of the far-right National Rally, Jordan Bardella, who called for encouraging births in the country, as some of them considered that these statements indicate his racism.
Bardella said, when he was a guest on "Radio France Inter", that the biggest controversy these days is primarily demographic, especially since humanity on the planet has exceeded 8 billion.
.@J_Bardella: "Si nous ne créons pas les conditions pour la natalité dans our pays, d'autres le feront à other place."

He added that the only problem is that if France does not develop a special strategy in order to raise the number of births, other civilizations will do so instead of it, such as Asia, which has reached 4 billion, and Africa, which will have a population of 500 million in the horizons of 2050.
Environmental activist Benedict Monville said on her Twitter account that Bardella represents the French face of white domination, repeating racist proposals in the 1930s without any shame.
Le visage français du suprémacisme blanc.
This monsieur is danger, he found the proposals racistes des années 30 sans aucune vergogne.
He didn't save the race without substance.

"Pure, quiet, unabashed racism. These Nazis don't change," activist Renaud Tarellet wrote on his Twitter account.
Aucune political nataliste n'a JAMAIS démontré son efficacity, @j_bardella.The couples ne font pas d'enfants parce que l'extrême droite française l'a décidé.
No seulement ça ne marchera pas, mais personne ne le fera « à our place » Discours retrograde and xénophobe @franceinter https://t.co/EVuKXsLSOn
