The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda continues to expressed deep disbelief regarding accusations from operatives of the United Progressive Party (UPP) concerning the sale of the Alpha Nero vessel.
The Cabinet’s response follows allegations that UPP members, alongside a Russian citizen, disseminated false information about the transaction.
Officials emphasized that all documents related to the legal sale of the vessel have been transparently published in various formats, including in newspapers, online, and made available to both local courts and the U.S. Court overseeing subpoenas for associated documents.
The Cabinet underscored that the evidence clearly demonstrates the legitimacy of the sale, contradicting the UPP’s claims.
An explanation presented to the Cabinet pointed to a “willful suspension of disbelief” among UPP operatives, a psychological state often exhibited by those who attempt to mislead others while avoiding the consequences of being proven wrong.
Efforts are ongoing to support investigations aimed at validating the truth and exposing the fallacies in the UPP’s assertions.
