    “De-privatize” is a really awkward phrasing for “nationalize”. Weird the way this article seems to dance around the word.

      I think they’ve been state owned companies for long enough that “de-privatized” is totally appropriate. It refers to the more recent “de-nationalization”, it provides more information.
