Remunicipalisation and forced expropriation

In this paper, based on the study of various authors, the subject of remunicipalisation and the relationship between remunicipalisation and expropriation is addressed, since remunicipalisation is, after all, nothing more than an expropriation in which the ultimate aim is to take the management and provision of a service from the private sector in exchange for compensation.To this end, I will first analyse the historical context in which remunicipalisation is taking place and then go on to define a series of essential key concepts such as municipalisation, public service, its types and, finally, the different ways of managing them. I will then move on to the concept of remunicipalisation and the ways in which it can be carried out, focusing on the figure of recovery. Subsequently, I will analyse competition law and I will return to remunicipalisation, analysing its advantages, disadvantages, reasons for carrying it out and the decision criteria to be taken into account when deciding on one form of management or another. Finally, I will make a brief comparison between expropriation and remunicipalisation and I will conclude my work with a series of conclusions on the subject.
