Seventeen bills are on the agenda of the National Assembly's extraordinary session. The cybercrime bill is not among them. Deputies will convene again in extraordinary session starting today.

The chapter establishing the Digital Protection and Investigation Unit (Upin) is one of the sources of concern for public opinion. The text grants it broad prerogatives.
