Strauss-Kahn Says Wife’s Opposition to New IMF Term Matters

Dominique Strauss-Kahn said his wife’s opposition to a second term running the International Monetary Fund matters to him as speculation mounts he may seek the French presidency next year.

Anne Sinclair, his spouse, said earlier this month that she doesn’t want him to serve another term as IMF managing director. Leaving the Washington-based lender is a pre-condition for re-entering French politics, and to run as a Socialist in the 2012 election, Strauss-Kahn would need to decide by mid-summer.
