I don’t know really, it’s the first time I see something like this. I know the Belgian government did something similar during the banking crisis years ago, so I guess it’s possible?

As for the asset strip: the company will go bankrupt if they don’t find someone to take over. So far no realistic offer has been made. The government is perfectly able to do just that. It’s a lost cause I think with neoliberals in charge, but it’s goot to get the message of nationalization out there for the people to consider.
