Boris Latour Says He Resigned Voluntarily as Antiguan Ambassador

Florence Vulva, the Executive Assistant to Former Antiguan Ambassador Boris Latour has issued a statement to the press, claiming that Latour resigned voluntarily from his position and his appointment was not revoked.

Both Prime Minister Gaston Browne and his Foreign Affairs Minister E.P. Chet Greene confirmed that Latour’s appointment was revoked after he failed to voluntarily resign.

Where his other matters are concerned, the presumption of innocence applies.

Below is the statement issued by Latour’s Executive Assistant this morning.

STATEMENT

The Ambassador has voluntarily resigned—he has not been dismissed—so that he may demonstrate his innocence. Mr. Latour is an honorable individual, a highly successful entrepreneur, and a distinguished diplomat, who is clearly the victim of a malicious conspiracy intended to undermine his reputation and integrity.

He categorically denies the spurious allegations set forth in the media. This misinformation campaign, motivated by malice, represents a deliberate and longstanding attempt to tarnish his name. These claims, entirely baseless and clearly aimed at discrediting him, are firmly rejected as “fake news.” All legal avenues will be pursued to defend his rights and preserve his honor.

Furthermore, the presumption of innocence must be maintained, and any concerted effort to sully a reputation should not go unpunished. The future will confirm that Mr. Latour bears no responsibility for these fallacious accusations. We also remind everyone that, from an ethical standpoint, it is important to moderate accusations and verify facts before disseminating potentially harmful information.
