VIDEO: The Politics of the Alfa Nero | Unity and Division in Antigua & Barbuda

By

Published

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.

    Didn’t have to pocket the money though. You’re entitled to pocket the maintenance costs, but what right do you have to the rest? That’s called stealing. Everybody knows what stealing is.

    People keep saying ‘it had to be done’ okay, but how it was done matters. No transparency, too many unanswered questions. People are we acting like questioning the government is unpatriotic? We want answers, not labels.

    Say what you want, but the PM did what had to be done. That yacht was a hazard sitting in the harbour, and something had to give. UPP is just a set of attention seeking goons

    Everything in this country turns into red vs blue. The Alfa Nero issue should’ve been about law, transparency, and national interest not party points.

    I fed up with this Alfa Nero saga already

  • Ramona cuffy April 14, 2025, 8:54 AM

    Well put together. Very balanced. Hope you guys can remain this way.

    Well it is expected that anything that the government does will be polarized and everyone will choose a side to support as expected.
