My guess is that the period of naionalization will be relatively brief, with the books examined, some debts repudiated or pared down, capital injected, and a new healthy company then sold off once energy markets have stabilized.

European version of the Great Leap Forward like Mao suggested in 1948. Now expect old-fashioned pogroms to follow complete with civil unrest.

Could it be that these bureaucrats all studied Oil&Gas Engineering at the Max Planck Institute?
