Radio Kawsachun Coca

Radio Kawsachun Coca, also known as RKC and by its English channel name Kawsachun News, is a Bolivian online and radio news network. It was founded on November 7, 2007 and focuses on Latin American politics with a Pro-socialism editorial take. It has both English and Spanish language channels.

Criticism

The network was criticized by Bolivian Minister of Communication Roxana Lizárraga, who in January 2020 said the network was broadcasting propaganda primarily for groups supporting the Movement Toward Socialism party and former President of Bolivia Evo Morales.[1] Morales used the network to call for the formation of armed militias "as in Venezuela" within the country after the political conflict that resulted in his resignation from office.[2] Lizárraga called for the Ministry of Justice to investigate.
