- The statement regarding the refusal to resign was not found in the fragments provided by search engines.
- Some quotes did not pass source verification or their connection to the statement and were removed; the status of each statement reflects the evidence retained in its list.
- The central statement is verified only through secondary media coverage — among the cited evidence, no primary source appears (the named publication, the court portal, the original document).
