Antigua And Barbuda Announces Referendum To Become A Republic

September 12, 2022 Telesur English. , , , ,
The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne, announced that he will call a referendum in the country within three years for the population to decide whether it wants to remain united to the British monarchy or proclaim a republic. "It does not represent any form of disrespect to the monarch. This is not an act of hostility, nor any difference between Antigua and Barbuda and the monarchy," he said. "It is a final step in completing the circle of independence to become a truly sovereign nation," he asserted. The Caribbean country is one of the 14 nations that maintains the British monarchy as its head of state.

The crisis has also galvanized many middle-class Haitian American émigrés to take a stand on an issue that seems far removed from their successful lives. It is an issue that raises uncomfortable echoes of the bitter history between the neighboring countries — both former dictatorships and slave colonies — on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola.
