Contrary to decades of received wisdom, reversing privatisation results in more accessible, accountable and cost-effective public services.

As the COVID-19 crisis has further highlighted, local public services are essential to achieve a sustainable and democratic life.

It’s not just about the tax havens, the state can do better than blaming tax evasion for poor public services.

Going far beyond a simple reversal of privatisation, the remunicipalisation of public services is gathering pace across Europe’s cities and towns.
