You’ll always find someone fighting for something stupid. I guess in the EU it’s mostly the conservatives pushing for it, who are a bit on the rise right now as it seems.

For example the greens, the left, the SPD and even the FDP.

Edit: Even the right wing nuts from the AfD are against it.

There are also German EU politicians pushing against it. It’s not like there is a German consensus to it.

As far as I know there is no evidence for a distinct big event, but there were smaller migration movements over a longer time period.

Back then, there weren’t much of medical knowledge and medicine that prolong lifespans; people had much shorter lives and died young.

That seems a bit incorrect. Of course medicine made a big leap over the last two centuries, but it was not worthless before.

Also people had good chances to reach their 60ies or even 70ies once they survived their first 15 years.

Who is far-left in this case? Both Orban and AfD are right wing nuts…
