Until then, they are not subject to the health pass. But as the report Marsactu, in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), the municipality may have gone a little too far in monitoring its own municipal agents. According to the information disclosed by our colleagues and relayed by BFMTV, the hierarchy of the municipal police provided a file which listed their vaccination status. The Union Syndicate of Municipal Police Professionals (USPPM) has indeed discovered the existence of several computer files on this subject.

Very quickly, the unions denounced a “breach of medical confidentiality” and demanded accountability from the town hall. Because the case dates back to last spring.

The file destroyed

For its part, the municipality assured that the file had been destroyed, which did not bring back the anger of the USPPM. “Most of the time, this kind of practice leads to a real witch hunt or more often to discrimination”, criticizes BFM Provence, its president, Grégory Valette. The case is such that the Union Syndicale des Professionals de la Police Municipale has decided to seize the National Commission for Informatics and Freedoms (Cnil). After studying the case, the committee could possibly take sanctions.

At the beginning of July, considering that the sanitary situation justifies it, the Cnil had issued an exceptional favorable opinion. The government had asked attending physicians to contact their patients not vaccinated against Covid-19 by providing them with a list of these. However, this concerned doctors, and she had specified the conditions, in particular that of destroying the list at the end of the awareness campaign.
