Ángel Acebes Paniagua (born 3 July 1958) is a Spanish politician.
Acebes holds a degree in law from the University of Salamanca. He has been a member of parliament for the rightwing People's Party since 1996, representing Avila. He played a key role in securing the support of minority parties and so making it possible for the People's Party to form a government.
He was Justice Minister from 1999-2002 and Interior Minister from 2002-04. He was Interior Minister - responsible for national security and Police - when the Madrid bombings occurred and was criticised by his opponents for blaming the attacks on ETA, allegedly for electoral gain, rather than on Islamic militants.[1]
