Suppression by the Berisha government
In 2009 the publication and continued existence of the newspaper was massively prevented by the Albanian government. Editor-in-chief Mero Baze's car was set on fire at the end of December 2008, advertisers were warned of further advertisements and the editorial building was surrounded by armed police for a few days. The government cited a lease for the editorial center in Tirana that expired in 2009 as the reason for the police presence , which the newspaper must respect.
