Prime Minister Gaston Browne has responded to Sunday’s protest led by the Antigua and Barbuda Freedom Fighters.
Police used teargas and fired rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.
Below is the Prime Minister’s response:
“Your deceptive, demonic agendas to fuel chaos and confusion will not be allowed to take root in this country.
We will resist your violent aggression and lawlessness to maintain peace and tranquility in our country.
Antigua & Barbuda will remain a safe and prosperous nation for all its citizens and residents.
We will not surrender to partisan thugs, posing as freedom fighters.”

Gaston, you probably forgot that we know you are one of the same said ‘thugs’ governing an enterprise of criminals since in your youth. The same set of thugs that is supposedly causing havoc and chaos on the island yesterday while you ignored the well planned and advertised PEACE rally to go and have vacation with your family while your city BURNED becauseof the poor skills given to OUR PEACE officers.
Why don’t you learn how to control your ‘fellow comrades’ from destroying the country you and your predecessors once ruled with the same autocratic mentality, once throwing the SAME SAID TEAR GAS on its citizens in previous years, muffling and stripping them of their Right of Peaceful Assembly and Association.
You think it’s a coincidence that your former Prime Minister Lester Bird happened to pass the morning after he was able to be informed, relive and have flashbacks of the same awful decisions he made while him and his father were in power that you and your government also poorly decided upon yesterday.
Your sins will too haunt you and your puppets, that are even more filled with testosterone and suddenly feel the need to exert in your absence as if they don’t have any mouth of their own while you are acting and present.
You may be skipping now but one day you won’t be able to escape your faith of being stripped of the shell position you currently hold..
Keep counting.. Remember, You, your party and your hoodlums of criminals for peace officers work for us and not vice versa. Don’t you dare get that twisted..
Mr. Pm you are a Joke and your reign of luting our Ancestors land will soon come to an end
in the meantime We will not surrender to Partisan Governance. You are the PM to all in this twin island state not just your puppets
you said nothing of the pregnant women, small children and elderly who were roughed up and pushed aside like dogs in their own land.
you are the biggest thug here sir enjoy your holiday
PM YOU ARE DING GREAT!
So in Antigua, and other countries, it’s perfectly okay to hold ” peaceful illegal protest” and disobey the police orders, and also get away with it. You’ll call that a lawless country. Is that who we are or want to become.
Whether the license were denied early or late, going against the will of the authority in the name of “peaceful protest” doesn’t make it right when the tables are then turned unfavorably. If you don’t have a license to drive a car, and you decided to drive and get caught, rough up, and arrested, why then claim your children and pregnant wife or girlfriend is in the car? The fact is, you weren’t supposed to be driving, just as they weren’t supposed to be protesting without the proper consent, peaceful or violently. You can’t have it both ways, protesting with or without permission. THAT’S LAWLESS, and God hates that.
Mr. Concern, when are you going to get it in your thick dunce skull that no one in Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬 need permission to picket. What part of the constitution are you reading? I think you’re getting “Picketing” and “March” missed up. We are not slaves and once the constitution give us that right we are going picketing. Start build a bigger jail because we ain’t backing down.
