"If privatization is the only way to improve the management of big public systems"?

A conference was held in parliament “to investigate if privatization is the only way to improve the management of big public systems in the country such as the HEP power provider or the healthcare system, or if there are other innovative models that could improve their management as well as ensure their sustainability.” Sandra Bencic of the Centre for Peace Studies “said that access to public services such as healthcare, education and power supply was one of the key levers for not only fighting poverty but also surviving it, especially given the fact that more than one million people in Croatia live at risk of poverty or social exclusion.” Hajdas Doncic said that one should work on raising public awareness of the importance of the management of public systems because ‘the only thing worse than public monopoly over public resources is private monopoly over them.’”
