Mr. Sanader declared he would be returning to a more active role in politics, stating that his decision to withdraw was a mistake, and that the HDZ is a "winning party and not a party that wins 12% of the vote", a remark made in connection with the first round of the presidential election held one week before, in which HDZ's candidate didn't score well.
サナデル氏は、彼の退陣の決定は誤りで、1週間前に開催され、HDZの候補者が好成績ではなかった大統領選挙の第一段階に関連した発言においてHDZが「勝利政党で投票の12％を獲得する政党ではない」と述べて、彼が政治上の積極的な役割に復帰すると宣言した。
