"He is coming back in the next few days," Aubry, also a Socialist candidate in France's upcoming presidential election, told Canal+ television when asked about Strauss-Kahn's plan.Strauss-Kahn, who wasgreeted by applause at the IMF's Washington D.C. headquarters on Tuesday, is free to return home after the chief prosecutor of Manhattan dropped charges of attempted rape against him, endingmonths of house arrest.
Many in France are against a return to politics for the former IMF director, who was arrested in May in New York over accusations that he tried to rape a Guinean maid in a luxury hotel room.
While some political allies in France applauded Strauss-Kahn's liberation, others have raised questions about his ability to restart a political career and retain an influence in French public life.
