The idea of a biometric Vitale card to fight against social fraud, demanded for a long time by the right and the extreme right, “deserves to be worked on” and the government “will support a parliamentary mission” on the subject, has said Tuesday the Minister of Health, François Braun.
We must ensure that the benefits are paid properly, that the contributions and social contributions are collected in an exhaustive manner, he declared the National Assembly, assuring that the executive would not have no complacency against those who cheat.
Advocating a rational approach to this subject through an objective assessment of the loss of earnings and the adoption of appropriate measures, Mr. Braun recalled that the experimentation of a dematerialized vital card was in progress and should be evaluated.
Nevertheless, the track of a biometric cardraised by the deputy of Isre Thibault Bazin (LR), deserves to be worked on, indicated the minister, judging there also necessary to evaluate the conditions of effectiveness (and) feasibility in connection with the professionals.

Consequently, the government will support a parliamentary mission to monitor the ongoing deployment of the new Vitale card, without any taboos and without prejudice, and to assess its relevance and possible developments, he added.
A concession to the parliamentary right made at the request of Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, he said, the executive thus wanting to be attentive to constructive ideas to move our country forward in a cross-partisan way, while a preliminary debate has just committed to its purchasing power bill.
This positioning will appear as a change of foot because the presidential majority had rejected at the end of 2020 a bill from senators LR on the same subject, in particular in the name of the protection of privacy and personal data.
This did not prevent three of the five contenders for the presidential primary from the same party (Xavier Bertrand, Michel Barnier, Eric Ciotti) from taking up this idea, which was already on Nicolas Sarkozy’s program in 2012, but also that of Marine Le Pen in the last three presidential elections.
