It was first published in 1952. Manolis Glezos was for years its editor.[2][3] During the seven-year period (1967–1974) of the Greek military junta, the newspaper stopped its publication which continued after the reinstatement of democracy.[4]
In June 2024, the newspaper announced it will suspend its daily print edition and now only publish weekly on Sundays.[5] In response, several unions called for a 24-hour strike to protest the decision.[6]
