Prime Minister Gaston Browne has accused opposition figures and diaspora activists of mounting a smear campaign against Antigua and Barbuda.

His remarks followed a protest by a small group of nationals outside a Washington, D.C. venue where he met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other Caribbean leaders.

Browne alleged that senior United Progressive Party (UPP) members were collaborating with “foreign mercenaries” to damage the country’s image and destabilise his government.

Central to the protest were allegations surrounding the US$40 million sale of the luxury yacht Alfa Nero.

The Prime Minister rejected claims that US$10 million was unaccounted for, stating the full amount was received and documented by the Ministry of Finance.

He cited a sworn affidavit from the buyer to support the figure.

The demonstrators also raised concerns about Antigua and Barbuda’s foreign policy, alleging ties to China, Cuba and Venezuela. Browne accused them of attempting to mislead US authorities and described their actions as harmful to national interests.

He further claimed the group, supported by a mobile electronic billboard, was spreading misinformation with backing from the UPP and hinted at possible links to Russian funding.

“These individuals should be condemned by all who care about the truth and the nation’s well-being,” he said.
