Photo: AFPSpain will make public the assets of more than 1,000 high-level officials including 38 current and former ministers, the government said Friday, hitting back at accusations of wrongdoing against two ministers. Isabel Celaa, spokeswoman for the Socialist government, told reporters the list would be published in the state's official gazette on Saturday. Her comments came after two ministers were criticised this week over information leaked to the media, sparking calls for them to resign. Science Minister Pedro Duque, meanwhile, was forced to defend himself Thursday against allegations he avoided paying some taxes on his two homes. And health minister Carmen Monton quit earlier this month after reports of alleged irregularities in her educational qualifications.
