    • Do not treat art. 213 as Israel §24. Do not quote arts. 211–212 as if they were the speech offence.
    • Overlay. Arts. 211–212 are denial-of-service discrimination, not this speech cell.
    • Decreto 111-2026 (Gaceta 37.181 of 30 June 2026) reformed arts. 66, 208, and 210 (femicide), not this article. The 2019 Gazette form of art. 213 remains the live speech cell.
