Cristina Corrales

She died at the Rengel Clinic in La Paz on 30 April 2010, after suffering from a bronchoaspiration.

Corrales was the only journalist who made a daily record of the sessions during the Bolivian Constituent Assembly held in Sucre, a city to which she moved after leaving politics and facing adversity when she tried to return to the media in La Paz. The recording of these sessions allowed her to make the documentary El Triunfo del pueblo (The Triumph of the People), recognized in 2009 with the Latin American Radio Award in Ecuador. She traveled to Quito in 2010 to receive the honor.

The local and national popularity that she obtained with her radio program prompted Corrales to present her candidacy for the Municipal Council of La Paz [es] for the Vanguardia Revolucionaria 9 de Abril [es] (VR-9) party. She was elected councilor, serving from 1999 to 2005, and was the body's president from 2000 to 2005. During her term, she carried out various investigations on the transparency of contracts and collections made by companies contracted by the mayor's office. In 2000, she received King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía of Spain of Spain in the City Hall of La Paz, as well as other international visitors such as Hugo Chávez and Kofi Annan.

Subsequently, she worked at Radio Panamericana [es] , then became the star announcer of Radio Fides [es] with her program Cristina y usted (Cristina and You) in the late 1980s. She was the initiator of the station's social direction, hosting the morning program that gained a large audience after its first broadcast on 4 April 1988. This contributed to the popularity of Radio Fides, and brought about a rivalry between it and Metropolitan Radio, headed by Carlos Palenque.

Cristina Corrales Real (5 December 1962 – 30 April 2010) was a Bolivian journalist, radio broadcaster, and politician.
