The mystery of the BOE at 11 pm: from survival kit to deleted tweet
Tonight at 11 pm, Spain's Official State Gazette (BOE) will publish something that, according to some, is "extremely serious." The time is unusual —the norm is 7:30 in the morning— and it has set off alarms in certain circles. Alongside the announcement, a survival kit has been mentioned, including a Fournier deck of cards, a whistle and face masks, in a mix of dark humor and paranoia.
The buzz intensified when a well-known Twitter user deleted a message teasing something for 10 pm. Coincidence or a sign? Skeptics point out that "nothing ever happens" and that such expectations usually dissolve into nothing. The fact is that the BOE has a long tradition of oddly timed publications that have not altered the course of the economy.
But what if this time is different? The combination of an anomalous hour, a deleted message and the apocalyptic tone of certain comments has created an air of expectation that not even the most cynical can entirely ignore. At 11 pm we will know whether it is a storm in a teacup or something genuinely worth trinc.
