[1] Journalists of Seznam News, Sabina Slonková and Jiří Kubík, found Andrej Babiš Jr. in Switzerland, where he was living with his mother.

[3][4][5] Babiš Jr.'s mental illness was diagnosed by Dita Protopopová, a member of the Prague 8 Municipal assembly, who was also chosen by ANO 2011 as a candidate for mayor.

[8] Andrej Babiš, who was, at the time, in Palermo, stated that his son was mentally ill and called the interview a "disgusting attack" on his family.

[9][10] Server Parlamentní Listy reported that the interview caused inner turmoil within Babiš' party ANO 2011, as its members were banned from talking about the affair with journalists.

Okamura said that his party couldn't join the coalition due to the unresolved case about the kidnapping of his son, but he said he would consider the confidence and supply arrangement with KSČM.

[14][15] On November 15, President Miloš Zeman announced that Babiš would stay in the position of PM no matter the result of the no-confidence vote, as he would simply reappoint him,[16] again with intent of letting him govern without confidence.

[21] On November 20, PM Babiš met with the leader of Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia, who provided his government with confidence.

[22] On the same day, Dita Protopopová, who originally declared his [Babiš's] son insane, which effectively prevented him from testifying in the case of Čapí hnízdo, left her job at the Czech National Institute of Mental Health.
