The next day, the newspaper Libero and shouted against the alleged "attack on press freedom" achieved nothing less than .. . Order of Journalists. Victor Felts said the Corsera of being "punished by the PDL for causing the crisis of governance", with the campaign against Fini on the house of Monte Carlo. Almost all of the center-right accuses of the crime (high treason), the order "Left", which is rather a large majority, as his accusers, that is the center, but considered serious, intentional and inexcusable breaches of ethics that made Newspaper and Felt by Boffo on the case. Some, even in the center (Mentone, Padellaro) did not agree with the suspension of three months decided by the Order, would have liked - seems to understand - simply censorship. Others, like the former director of Ansa, Press and Messenger, Giulio Anselmi, said he would prefer an economic sanction, forgetting that the Order is not empowered to do so (only four penalties: warning, censure, suspension, cancellation).
In fact, the National Order "only" rejected the appeal presented by Felt against the sentence to six months of suspension already decreed by the Order of Lombardy, halving the penalty by a vote individually finished in a tie, 66 in favor of the 3 and 66-month suspension for the maintenance of six months, under a regulation in these exceptional cases the penalty is more favorable prevail all'incolpato. Dismissed the appeal after hearing and questioned for over two hours, the same Felt and his two lawyers, especially, after reviewing a large chart prepared by the Appeals Commission from which emerged without a doubt the most serious breaches of professional conduct committed in the campaign against Boffo. I mention only the main news of Boffo "known homosexual attention from the police" was false, "the statement" made by delivery to the newspaper, "a senior prelate of the Vatican" was a fake, the controls placed on the reliability of news from Felt and summaries were partial, and when the day after he began to emerge that some of the news reports were false, Felt and the newspaper did not run, indeed, the partial adjustment was made only three months later, in the form of a response to a letter a reader of the Journal, even after allegations of sexual tastes Boffo continued.
Such a clear sequence of events that led the Commission appeals of the Order, presided over by a colleague that the center has demonstrated on this occasion its valuable intellectual honesty and impartiality of judge as a journalist, to propose the unanimous confirmation of the suspension of six months decided to Milan. Logic would have liked the face of this unequivocal documentation and such an approach by the Commission, the Bar Council decided to maintain the penalty (can not aggravate it). Instead he has halved, albeit with a vote ended in a draw which shows that all the directors, in the end, they agreed to declare the severe penalty of suspension (66 for 3 months, 66 for 6 months). And this after they were shot down the proposed penalty Felt a simple complaint, and with two months suspended. The incredible and unacceptable appeal the acquittal of Felt addressed to the directors of the Order on the eve of the verdict, signed by some 80 MPs of the PDL, was dismissed in substance, but apparently has come to weigh on the outcome of the vote. The fact is that the Order, for the second time in two months (the first with the suspension on the case-Judge Brachino Mesiano), was able to straighten his back and revive its role as guardian of professional ethics and journalistic ethics, on top of political. Despite the many, many problems of credibility and functionality that the Order at this moment seems like a good sign.
