Prime Minister Gaston Browne has defended his combative political style, asserting that his confrontational approach is necessary to safeguard the interests of Antigua and Barbuda.
Speaking on his weekly Pointe FM radio programme, Browne responded to recent criticism of his frequent public clashes with political opponents, media entities, and civil society actors.
He said his willingness to engage directly with detractors reflects his commitment to defending the government’s record and the country’s reputation.
“I get paid to fight,” Browne said. “I don’t get paid to sit down and twiddle my thumbs.
I have to protect the interest of the people of this country, and I will confront any misinformation or attempt to destabilise our progress.”
The Prime Minister’s remarks come amid growing political tensions and renewed criticism of his administration’s handling of sensitive national issues, including recent labour disputes and allegations of media censorship.
Browne maintained that his administration has been one of the most transparent and courageous in the country’s history, adding that silence in the face of what he described as “vitriolic and dishonest attacks” would be a disservice to the electorate.
“I take the blows, but I will always respond,” he said.
“I was elected to lead, and leadership sometimes requires taking a firm stand.”
The Prime Minister’s comments are likely to resonate with supporters who view his outspokenness as a strength, while continuing to draw scrutiny from critics who argue that his rhetoric undermines national unity.

Yes Mr. PM
that is why Pringle ADMIRES YOU SO MUCH!!! He told Darren Matthew:
“….The Hon. Prime Minister Gaston Browne is not afraid to GRAB THE BULL BY THE HORNS AND TAME IT”
Where is Trevor Walker?
Why is he so quiet after the landslide election victory of his political party?
What is he doing for the paychecks he receives?
At a time when Barbuda is under siege where is the Parliamentary Representative?
Is he being directed by others who are attempting to populate Barbuda with wealthy people?
Where in the world is Trevor Walker? And why he has nothing of substance to say?
Trevor “BROWN PAPERBAG”Walker ain’t stupid! He is enjoying his nice house and land in Royal Gardens ANTIGUA!!! He laughing at the stupidity of the backward, mentally enslaved, cyanide drinking cult people that allow him to deceive them year after year.
He also enjoys the benefits of being the LONE GAS STATION OWNER in Barbuda. You think Trevor “BROWN PAPER BAG” Walker stupid??? The man is a shrew politician who has mastered the art of keeping insular cult worshipers under tight control.
Keep feeding them lies, while he enrich himself and continue to prosper. Which one of the cult lickers can produce a Title Deed that they can take to the bank and take out a loan to help enrich themselves???
Everything this man says is the converse of what is happening other than he is a nasty mouthed person
nasty??? Look within UPP for “nasty” like the PRO, Ian “Magic” Hughes. a CONVICTED PEDOPHILE who VIOLATED HIS DAUGHTERS’ FRIEND. That is actually worst than nasty. Imagine a CONVICTED PEDOPHILE is the voice and face of the party that calls itself the “alternative”
Were you safeguarding the interests of Antigua and Barbuda when you forced the deadly poison on people? Were you safeguarding the interests of Antigua and Barbuda when you send home employees for refusing to take the deadly poison that has caused so much harm? Enquiring minds would like to know.
No compensation for the two months loss equals no votes and I have three registered voters in my household.
Ok… 1 simple question. Who are u fighting for if you’re fighting you own citizens and workers?
Are you fighting for Sandra on Jolly Beach? The only thing you fighting for is to hide your millions and the trail from where they come from . Asot is still alive in spirit.
@Mr. Antigua
Asot jumbee must a haunt fu you libba!

In The Art of War, war(s) are not won on the battlefield. They’re won in knowing, the real & true Nature of the Battles which comprise the war being fought.
…silence is golden!
…no where bodily, is everywhere spiritually.
…he who fights, in the shadows of his enemies will always have the upper hand of surprise; for, he thinks his ghost is haunting him.
…actions, speak louder than words
…speech is not a “sense,” but a bunch of idioms put together, by any idiot to make sense.

I absolutely love the fact that the Honourable Prime Minister is an engaging leader and this is a new phenomenon for us. Never before in the history of Antigua & Barbuda did we have a leader with whom citizens can engage with on social media in a very open and candid way. But leadership style matters, ASSERTIVE versus CONFRONTATIONAL. Aggressive and confrontational leaders too often focus on blame, criticism and the humiliation of others which clearly has a terrible impact on productivity and effectiveness. Such a leadership style creates a culture of fear and stifles creativity and risk taking. Aggressive and confrontational leaders most times are harsh in tone that can border on being hostile thereby creating unnecessary conflict and turmoil. Confrontational leaders are also very poor listeners who take a “my way or the highway ” approach to communicating to those around them and are not open to others opinion.
On the other hand, being an ASSERTIVE leader is making your point in a concise and direct fashion. ASSERTIVE leaders leave no doubt in the minds of those around them what they are stating and why they are stating it. They also communicate with a sense of urgency and provide clear direction.
Quite often, the result and reaction we get from people is a direct corealiatipn to how people see your approach and leadership style.
Fighting FOR and fighting WITH.. are two completely different things.
