The Constitutional Council yesterday censured several provisions of the law on health vigilance, the one which extends to 31 July 2022 the possibility of declaring a state of health emergency or of requiring a health pass. In particular, it considers unconstitutional the one which opened the possibility for the directors of educational establishments to access the files of medical information relating to the pupils and to proceed to their treatment.

And this one to censor a disproportionate invasion of privacy.
These criticisms addressed by the nine Wise Men had already been expressed during the debates. Philippe Gosselin, for example, denounced a provision tabled at the last minute by the government in “ fundamental and extraordinary breach of confidence and medical confidentiality “.
