On July 14, 1948 it was closed down as consequence of the anti-communist Defense of Democracy Law. From September 10, 1949 it was published clandestinely. On October 25, 1952 it was once again openly published. After the Chilean coup of 1973, it was once again closed down, although it was published clandestinely under Augusto Pinochet.
