Ángeles González-Sinde Reig (born 7 April 1965) is a Spanish scriptwriter, film director and politician serving as chairwoman of the Reina Sofía Museum's Board of Trustees since 2020.
Previously, she served as Minister of Culture from April 2009 until December 2011. Her appointment was received with anger and rejection by the Spanish Internet Community, due to González-Sinde's opposition to P2P file sharing and the alleged conflict of interest due to her ties to the film industry. A strict anti-piracy law enacted in Spain in December 2011 has become known colloquially as Ley Sinde, or the Sinde Law, as she was seen as the primary backer of the measure.
