Mexico City, Mexico (CNN) -- Diego Fernandez de Cevallos, a prominent Mexican politician kidnapped in May, was released and back at his home Monday. "I am fine, thanks to God. I am strong and my life will continue to be the same," he told the crush of reporters gathered outside of his home in Mexico City. "As a man of faith, I have already forgiven them," Fernandez de Cevallos said about his kidnappers. "But as a citizen, I believe the authorities have a job to do." Fernandez de Cevallos, a former senator and congressman and a close ally of Mexican President Felipe Calderon, disappeared on May 14 near his ranch in the state of Queretaro in central Mexico. Blood and other signs of a struggle were found, police said.
