The family past of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš is being examined by historians, who have drawn attention to the activities of his uncle Wilibald Otto Erzen in Nazi repressive bodies. According to published information, during the Second World War he served in SS units and worked for the Gestapo in the former Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. .tyzden ↗
After the war, Erzen is said to have been labeled a political refugee. Historians, however, interpret his past differently and state that he was one of the longest-living members of the Gestapo from the former protectorate. Some information about his service with the Gestapo reportedly came to light by chance. forum24.cz ↗
The topic emerged in connection with the long-running dispute over Andrej Babiš's registration in the files of the State Security (StB). Following the formation of Robert Fico's government, the Slovak Ministry of Interior agreed with Babiš that his name appears in the files unjustifiably. A number of historians disagree with this conclusion and continue to assess the case differently. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
The current information concerns primarily family history and the past of Babiš's uncle, not a new decision by a court or state institutions. Further developments will depend on historical research into documents concerning Erzen's activities during the Nazi occupation and on the continuation of the dispute surrounding Babiš's registration in the State Security files.
