[4] At Fides, Corrales founded the Christmas campaign "Por la sonrisa de un niño" (For a Child's Smile), co-organized by her colleague, the Bolivian Catholic priest and journalist Eduardo Pérez Iribarne.

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.

[13] Corrales was briefly a candidate for Senate – as well as Chamber of Deputies, simultaneously – on behalf of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR) in the 2002 elections but chose not to compete as it would have required her to resign from the municipal council.

[14] Cristina Corrales married the left-wing ideologue and Conscience of Fatherland party (CONDEPA) politician Gonzalo Ruiz Paz, with whom she had two children.
