The Bank of Spain has outlined the future of our nation in terms that chill the blood: if we want to keep the pension system and the labor market afloat, it will be necessary to incorporate nearly 25 million immigrants by 2053 —which would amount to more than half of the current population—. The figure was analyzed on the program Mediodía COPE. But there was no talk of incentivizing birth rates, nor of defending the family, nor of betting on a culture of life. The solution offered is simple and devastating: replace the Spaniards who are not being born with foreigners who take their place.

A vision that renounces our identity
Mercedes Fernández, director of the Institute of Migration Studies at the Pontifical University of Comillas, explained in her radio appearance what has become a technocratic dogma for many: Spain is aging, the baby boomers are retiring, there are no births, and precarious jobs are only accepted by immigrants —as if the rest of the jobs that Spaniards are willing to do are not precarious—. Therefore —say the experts— the only way out is to import millions of people.
The Bank of Spain speaks in figures that are only comprehensible from an idea of the disappearance of the Spanish people. This approach empties our national and cultural identity of value. It reduces the life of a people to a market statistic, in which what matters is not our own children, but foreign hands that ensure the economic machinery keeps running. And meanwhile, silence persists on the essentials: Europe’s lowest birth rate, the precariousness of motherhood, the abandonment of families, and the culture of death that permeates our laws and customs.
We already had King Felipe VI just a few days ago at the UN committing Spain as a «global benchmark on issues such as the fight for sexual and reproductive rights,» and furthermore, he added on the migration issue:
“We believe that immigration, properly managed, is a vector of mutual development for societies of origin, transit, and destination, and that the Human Rights of migrants must consequently be the main reference for our action.”
What is proposed to us, then, is to renounce our continuity and accept as inevitable a demographic replacement plan that George Soros or the most radical agendismo would sign.
The Church that welcomes
While Congress advances in processing a Popular Legislative Initiative that seeks to regularize 500,000 immigrants, the Spanish Episcopal Conference, along with Cáritas, CONFER, and other entities, celebrates the parliamentary support. This public endorsement shows how a significant part of the institutional Church in Spain has taken on the regularization agenda as its own, while maintaining a resounding silence on the drama of birth rates and the abandonment of the family.
In parallel, Pope Leo XIV recalled in his message for the 111th World Day of the Migrant and Refugee 2025 — which, by the way, will be celebrated on October 4 and 5— that “communities that welcome migrants and refugees can be a living witness to a society in which everyone’s dignity as children of God is recognized, in which all are brothers and sisters, part of a single family.” And it is true: Christian charity demands welcoming and accompanying, but welcome cannot be confused with the programmed replacement of a people that renounces begetting children. The Gospel does not command dismantling one’s own house, but building it on rock. A country that abdicates life and hands over its future to technocratic calculations is not practicing charity, but digging its own grave.
If 25 million Spaniards are missing, the logical response should be: recover large families, open ourselves to life, maintain the generational thread we inherited from our grandparents. One must then ask whether, when one is already being replaced, the word is welcome or dismantle.
