The ongoing Alfa Nero saga has created a divide in the court of Antiguan and Barbudan public opinion. Though, in our examinations, we’ve seen that this controversial case not only has the power to split apart, but to unite – even in the face of overwhelming odds.
Antigua.news examines the politics involved in the Alfa Nero situation, and its intersection with sectarianism inside and outside of party lines.
Well it is expected that anything that the government does will be polarized and everyone will choose a side to support as expected.
Well put together. Very balanced. Hope you guys can remain this way.
I fed up with this Alfa Nero saga already

This week there has only been talk about the Alfa Nero .
