Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former IMF chief who is back home in France with his career in tatters after a sex-assault scandal, is likely to take a role in the left’s 2012 election campaign, a political ally said on Monday.
Pierre Moscovici, a Socialist Party lawmaker and former government minister, was one of Strauss-Kahn’s biggest backers for the 2012 election and is now coordinator for the campaign of the Socialist Party’s new favourite, Francois Hollande.
“I think he’ll do it,” Moscovici said, asked on BFM TV whether the former left-wing favourite to unseat President Nicolas Sarkozy next year would now put his energies into helping a rival get elected.
