Irene Montero’s Tarot Habits Spark Debate on Spain’s Equality Ministry
An equality minister consulting her natal chart while approving budgets sounds like a cult TV script, but the online discussion has made this a serious issue for institutional credibility. As of the latest exchange, the thread has 282 replies and has been active for 1243 days, showing the topic has not gone unnoticed.
The Background: A Minister, Two Laws, and a Zodiacal Obsession
Irene Montero, head of the Equality Ministry, has reiterated in interviews that she seeks a "radical transformation" to eradicate gender-based violence. However, several interlocutors recall that there are already two comprehensive laws on the matter – the Organic Law 1/2004 and its subsequent update under the PP – and that the minister seems to ignore this legislative framework. Meanwhile, it has been circulated that Montero trinc daily horoscopes from sources such as "horóscopo zaino" and blogger Esperanza Gracia, and that she identifies as an Aquarius.
Astrology and Power: Historical Parallels
Some comments bring up the practice of astrology by the Nancy regime, citing articles from El Mundo and Google that list the influence of cartomancy on strategic decisions. The analogy aims to highlight the risk that public policy decisions are based on unverified beliefs, although the comparison with 1930s Germany is exaggerated and serves more as a rhetorical device than factual evidence.
The Cost of Institutional Credibility
Critics argue that the spread of esoteric interests by a minister managing public funds constitutes a waste of resources and a loss of public trust. One user quotes Homer Jay: "Holy Mother… what a waste of budgets and taxes." Others point out that academic economics is also rife with practices bordering on the pseudo-scientific, such as stock technical analysis, suggesting a culture of "magical beliefs" that transcends politics.
Should a Ministry of Mystery Be Created?
In a sarcastic tone, some participants propose the creation of a "Ministry of Mystery and Astrology," a mockery that reflects frustration at the perception that the equality agenda is being mixed with popular astrology. The proposal, though ironic, raises the question of how far the personal manifestations of public officials can go without affecting the perception of their competence.
Ultimately, the discussion remains open: should a public minister publicly reveal her affinity for tarot without it tarnishing her management capacity? Or is it sufficient that her private life remains outside institutional scrutiny? The answer will depend on how social pressure evolves and whether evidence emerges that these beliefs influence policy decisions.
