Biography
Biography
Ángeles González-Sinde Reig was born 7 April 1965. She is the daughter of the academy's founder, José María González-Sinde, Sr. Her brother, José María González-Sinde, Jr., is also involved in the film industry. González-Sinde studied Classics at the Complutense University of Madrid and did a master's degree in Cinema Scriptwriting at the AFI Conservatory in Los Angeles. From 1999 to 2001, she served as president of ALMA, the main screenwriters' union of Spain. She served as president of Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas de España (AACCE) (Spanish Academy of Arts and Cinematographic Sciences) from December 2006 until April 2009. In April 2009, González-Sinde was appointed Culture Minister. This sparked a movement against her from the Spanish Internet users community, represented by the Asociacion de Internautas (Internet Users Association). They stated that she was unable to fulfill correctly the needs and obligations of her position because of a conflict of interests, as she had personal ties with businesses involved in the film industry and consequently could not be impartial. Moreover, Spanish law 5/2006 of April 10, 2006 regulates conflicts of interest among high-ranking positions in the Spanish government. In June 2020 she was appointed president of the Royal Board of Trustees of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
