Radio Red Pío XII

Radio Pío XII is a prominent radio station in Bolivia, established in 1959 by the Catholic Church, specifically the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. It is based in the mining town of Siglo XX and was created to serve and advocate for the rights of miners and working-class communities. The station is known for its focus on social justice, human rights, and indigenous issues, often broadcasting in both Spanish and Quechua. Over the years, it has played a critical role in Bolivia's political and social movements, often facing repression during periods of political unrest. Radio Pío XII operates as part of a network, with additional stations in Oruro and Cochabamba.
