So, in some breaking news out of Czech Republic, looks like the longstanding rumors that PM Andrej BabiÅ” was an agent of the notorious Czechoslovak Communist-era secret police, the StB (stĆ”tnĆ bezpeÄnost, āstate securityā) are indeed true. They found his identity card in Slovakia, in the old StB archives. A lot of those records were destroyed during the collapse of communism, but not all of them.
And worse yetā¦he was a volunteer. He willingly and knowingly signed up to be an agent, an informant. What that means going forward isnāt clear - the story broke just a few hours ago here.
BabiÅ” has long denied it, but now, it seems like thereās irrefutable proof.
