Summary/Abstract: The pandemic had very important consequences in the field of public law and the role of public powers worldwide. In the last three decades, we lived the triumph of the ideas about small state, abstentionist state, public powers which do not spend more resources that they dispose of no matter what. The pandemic proved that the State exists because it is needed, to guarantee the good functioning of public services and among them those of public health par excellence. For a period of three years, we have evidenced the omnipresence of the State and the public powers, struggling to fight the pandemic, to keep the public services working, to maintain up to a certain level the income of those who were in confinement, to preserve a minimum of functioning of the economy. The State is back and needed.
