Pasalic said that he did not intend to withdraw from the Croatian
Democratic Union (HDZ) and Sanader and his sympathisers could only
exclude him from the party. This though would be unlawful as is the
fact that they hold the offices they do, Pasalic told journalists at
a press conference.
He said that he was one of the founders of the party which is not the
case with some of those who are now attempting to have him thrown
out. The leading positions in the HDZ are today filled with people
in whom President Tudjman had lost faith or were removed from
office.
He stressed that the HDZ leadership, headed by Sanader had done
absolutely nothing in the past two years to prepare the party for
the forthcoming election and that the HDZ as it is, regardless of
the results of the election would experience a fiasco because all of
Sanader's fairy tales of forming a coalition with the Croatian
Peasants' Party and Croatian Social Liberal Party would fall to
pieces.
Sanader's policies of crawling up to the ruling coalition and
begging them for a future coalition is below the dignity of the
HDZ.
