“You are Us. We are you” PM Browne tells Dominicans as new Government is sworn in

16

Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, the Hon. Gaston Browne has commended Dominicans for their decision to re-elect the party of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit to govern the affairs of Dominica for the next five years.

Prime Minister Browne, who was accompanied by MP Asot Michael,  joined his CARICOM Colleagues Dr. Ralph Gonsalves of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Ms. Mia Motley, Prime Minister of Barbados in Dominica earlier this week for the swearing-in of Minister of Government of the newly re-elected government of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit which won 18 of the 21 seats that were contested in the recently held elections.

“We are proud of the Dominican people for the resilience that you have shown as a result of the storms that decimated Dominica. But even more so, we are proud of you and the way in which you handled the challenges that you had to confront leading up to the last general elections,” Prime Minister Browne stated.

Prime Minister Browne also spoke about the resilience of the Dominican people in sending a clear message to those who wanted to use violence as a means to gain governance of Dominica.

“I said that not to interfere in your domestic politics, but in protection of my own country, because I realize that if there were individuals who were able to achieve the governance of this country through violence, then they would important it in Antigua and Barbuda.  So it was in my interests and the interests of the people of Antigua and Barbuda to stand against electoral violence.   You have sent a message. You have made it abundantly clear that violence in politics will not pay and those who persist in violence in politics will surely pay. And indeed, they paid a hefty price,” Prime Minister Browne stated.

The country’s leader, while speaking about the long existing relationship between Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica, congratulated Prime Minister Skerrit on the resounding victory and reminded him to remain focus in his duties to serve the people of Dominica.

“I say to you, my dear friend, and to the people of Dominica, that you can continue to count on Gaston Browne and the people of Antigua and Barbuda as reliable partners. We have been there for you during the storms that decimated Dominica and we did so with pride and we will continue to stand with you through thick and thin. We will continue to collaborate at the level of the leadership and we’ll make sure that we continue to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the Antigua and Barbuda and the Dominican people, because fundamentally we are one and the same. In fact, about 20 percent of the Antigua and Barbuda population comprises Dominicans. You are us. We are you,” PM Browne said.

  1. Mr. PM Browne, you are blessing to Antigua….. Anywhere you go, you always represent us and your speeches always has depth and give us quite a bit to think about.

  2. Long live the great People of Dominica! Long live the great People of Antigua and Barbuda. Socialist and internationalist solidarity forever, in accord with the principles of our founders.

  3. Bullshit really baffles the brain. Here is this idiot who was at the OAS telling powerful America about non-interference into Venezuela, this is so laughable. What is so hypocritical with this two face wannbe dictator, while telling America about non-interference his ass sent military and police into Dominica to interfere into their politics and tear gas the citizens of Dominica. The people of Dominica will never forget this savage act by this ALP administration. “Wicked set of people” he speaks about violence reaching Antigua, the only violent people on Antigua are the ones who support his party. They in opposition don’t respect the law. Their history is well documented in and out of government.

    • People might pay a little more attention to you if you wouldn’t use so much profanity. That’s usually a sign of somebody having a deep personal problem. Merry Christmas “Knight”.

      • You want me to send you some voice clips of the world ass, that you worship how he speaks about the citizens he was elected to lead. The problem with you minions is the selling of your soul to the devil. If the truth bothers you boss well you barking up the wrong tree, because I am no ones yard boy. You people in this faking country are so dam compromise it’s unbelievable.
        My message to my country men and women, stop taking bribes, stop making politicans use you, country before your love of politicans. “Stand up and fight, speak out” against this wannabe dictator.

  4. What a crock of arrogant crap! And I guess “smartly” dressed does not apply anymore. Antigua is an overtaxed bankrupted dirty ghetto where the tourist industry is dwindling and communist Chinese are overtaking the country. As was clearly shown and proved on Al Jazeera Skerrit’s selling of diplomatic passports has made him reportedly exceedingly rich, and who goes with GB…none other than Antigua’s counterpart “passport seller and evidence eliminator specialist”. In photo no. 2 Mia Motley is seated next to sloppily dressed nouveau riche by creativity…had to be a shock since the other PM’s appear smartly attired for the occasion.
    Skerrit really has to have crocodile skin to be able to stand in front of a crowd of people, most of which would have seen ‘Diplomats for Sale’, they would/should also be aware of the tear gassing of children and old people, the shootings and unless idiots would have to know that the whole election was rigged from beginning to end…As far as the Prime Ministers coming to show support, all of them should be ashamed of themselves for condoning this desperation for power crap that took place in Dominica. I truly hope that the UN takes back ALL red passports from this region. It has been a total abuse.

  5. All these nayseyers are so apathetic, you are really demonstrating your ignorance an hatred with your nonsensical, uneducated comments..

    JEB

    Both Knight and Jeb are drinking from the same BLUE KOOLAID CUP. These Two Guys can never see how Prime Minister is representing Antigua and Barbuda in the most Admirable Way International. Knight and Jeb are full of Hatred. I believe that you both should seek some professional Help . Antigua is on the move in a POSITIVE way. I have now come to the conclusion You do not mean any good for Antigua and Barbuda. Knight you have brought the Snake pit to a very low standard I cannot see the Snake pit last throughout 2020 . All what you hear from Monday through Thursday nights is same RHETORIC which most Antiguans are very tired listening to you . Try and concentrate on your program and stop showing your AWFUL ways to our Prime Minister. Long Lived Hon Gaston Browne.

    • It’s amazing you and the rest minions know every word been said in the Snake pit, do you need the antidote to stop listening, because we can’t help people like you who flip when the moon is full.

    • I admit to being repetitive with this one but it would appear necessary…If you find that Mr. Knight and myself are wrong print/write the evidence to prove your case. If you really think there is real competency at the helm in Antigua then give accurate information to prove that. I have never met Mr. Knight but I do know that he absolutely cannot defame anyone on the Snake Pit…everything he says on public media (which includes ANR) has to be backed up by credible evidence. As far as bloggers giving opinions (that you do not like) on what we read, see, hear and/or experience…you are free to argue and show evidence to the contrary.

  7. KNIGHT , SERPENT , CLEON ATHILL.
    KNIGHT get a life and stop interfering with PROGRESS . Go and model the Ladies Hat and clothing in your Family store. You need a woman in your life. I would recommend Cleon Athill both of you will make an EXCELLENT complaining couple. By the way you could toss SERPENT in the mix. You Guys are a total destruction in Antigua and Barbuda. Get a life.

  8. JEB

    I am very happy that you realize that your submission was repetitive. I respect you for that….I hope Knight will follow you and realize that He ( Knight ) is doing ANTIGUANS and BARBUDANS a total DIS-SERVICE . Knight can never see anything good happening in Antigua. This very bad on His part . Thanks again Jeb. Jeb I hope someday that you will see the all the good things happening in Antigua and Help Us win all the seats in 2023 including Barbuda. Compliments of the Season.

  9. @KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR.
    Knight with your influence in the UPP, You should advise the UPP to present Their slate for 2023. I heard that UPP is experiencing difficulties attracting Candidates. Kindly divert your energies and assist Them in this Up hill battle. By the way is Serpent running in St. George ? We would like Him to do so…because We are ready to give a good BANGING . Hon. Dean Jonas will give Him a good TRASHING. I hope GLADYS POTTER ,CLEON ATHILL will be considered. This is a BIG BIG joke. Looking forward to hearing from you. I know you would not have the GUTS to reply.

  10. I have been noticing that only ABLP supporters are contributing to the subject matter on Antigua News Room. All the UPP supporters are sleeping ? This is the time to be active. I believe that the DNA POLITICAL PARTY Will form the Official Opposition in Parliament in 2023. The UPP will be completely FINISHED.
