    • 114k is a listed-speech offence. It is not 162 hatred.
    • This is advocacy / propaganda of terrorism (проповядва), not overlay 162 (preaching racial/ethnic/sexual-orientation hatred).
    • Art. 114л is a separate public-incitement-to-a-chapter-offence cell. Not this quote.
    • The 2025 recodification moved terrorism into a new chapter (чл. 114а–114т). Cross-referenced as the definition of terrorism in the Measures Against Terrorism Act.
