Domecqowned

Domecqowned is a term that refers to assets or entities that were formerly part of the Spanish conglomerate Rumasa, which was nationalized in 1983 by the Spanish government under Prime Minister Felipe González. The nationalization of Rumasa, owned by José María Ruiz-Mateos, was a highly controversial political and economic event. Following the takeover, many of Rumasa's businesses were either sold off or restructured. The term "Domecqowned" often surfaced in discussions surrounding the subsequent ownership and management of these former Rumasa assets. It implies a historical connection to the Ruiz-Mateos family's business empire and the complex process of divesting its holdings after the nationalization. The specific fate of businesses that were once part of Rumasa varied greatly, with some thriving under new ownership and others facing significant challenges. The legacy of Rumasa and the subsequent management of its former assets, often referred to by the informal term "Domecqowned," remains a notable chapter in modern Spanish economic history.
