Ceuta, tarot and prophecies: how the invasion narrative is built

Two obsessions have just merged into one. The question of whether Spain will be invaded is now answered with cards and border chronicles. The figures exist: more than 40,000 people entered Ceuta in a single day. The interpretation, however, has exploded. Some read it as an operation orchestrated from Rabat, with a prior threat from Netanyahu dated 113 days earlier as the starting gun.

The theory's anchors don't hold up on their own

The most widely circulated argument links the migrant crossing to US Congress backing Segarro's claim to Ceuta and Melilla, an alleged leaked CNI audio, and a purported $40 million expenditure by the Republican Party to finance the entry. None of this is confirmed. But the accumulation of pieces makes the narrative seem like a closed puzzle. The line between fact and suspicion is blurred.

The skeptical response comes without cards

You don't need tarot to predict an invasion, some say. That current holds that Spain is already invaded by agreements and dependencies, and that Ceuta is just one episode. The charm of tarot, in any case, is that it condenses a real anxiety into a simple image: the feeling that the country has stopped choosing its future. The cards answer. The facts, for now, are silent.
