청와대가 12일 각 정당 지도부를 초청한 오찬 간담회가 오는 16일 청와대에서 열린다고 전했다.

김병욱 정무비서관은 이날 오후 춘추관 브리핑에서 "새해를 맞아 국정 운영 주요 방향을 공유하고, 민생 회복·국정 안정 관련 초당적 협력 방안을 논의 계획"이라며 "의제에 특별한 제한 없이 주요 경제·민생 현안·국정 전반 관련 허심탄회한 의견 교환이 이뤄질 예정"이라고 전했다.

그러면서 "올해는 국민이 체감할 구체적 변화를 만들고 국가 대도약 기반 구축에 국정 동력을 집중할 뜻을 밝히면서 정치권 협력을 당부 예정"이라며 "7개 정당 당 대표·원내대표를 초청했으며 국민의힘은 아직 답이 없다"고 전했다. 

또 "개혁신당은 이준석 대표가 해외 공무로 불참 의사를 밝혔고, 천하람 원내대표는 참석 의사를 전해왔다"며 "나머지 정당 대표·원내대표는 다 참석 예정으로 알고 있다"고 했다.

이어 "지난번 정청래·장동혁 대표와 대통령 회담을 가졌듯 언제든 국민의힘 지도부가 원하면 충분히 대화 시간을 만들겠다"며 "금요일 예정된 간담회인 만큼 그 전까지 인내심을 갖고 기다리면서 함께할 수 있길 기대한다"고 했다.

김 비서관은 한병도 더불어민주당 신임 원내대표가 정부가 발표한 공소청·중수청 설치법안 관련해 "당정 이견이 있다"고 말한 것 관련해선 "한 원내대표가 본인 실수를 인정한 걸로 안다"고 밝혔다.

그러면서 "한 원내대표가 수정 글을 올렸다 들었으며 당정 간 이견은 없다"며 "당내 국회의원 사이에서 검찰개혁 중 공소청·중수청 설치법안 관련해 여러 의견은 있으나 당정 간 이견은 없다는 점을 분명히 한다"고 했다.

앞서 일부 민주당 의원들은 언론·SNS·국회 법제사법위 전체회의 등을 통해 공소청·중수청 운영안에 대한 이견을 드러냈다.

The Blue House announced on the 12th that a luncheon meeting with leaders of each political party will be held at the Blue House on the 16th.

At a Chunchugwan briefing that afternoon, Kim Byung-wook, the presidential secretary for political affairs, stated, "As we enter the new year, we plan to share key directions for state administration and discuss bipartisan cooperation on restoring people's livelihoods and stabilizing state affairs." He added, "There will be a candid exchange of opinions on key economic and livelihood issues, as well as overall state affairs, without any specific restrictions on the agenda."

He added, "This year, we will focus our state administration on creating tangible changes that the people can feel and laying the foundation for a great national leap forward, and we plan to request cooperation from the political community." He added, "We have invited the leaders and floor leaders of seven political parties, but the People Power Party has not yet responded."

He also said, "Reform Party leader Lee Jun-seok has expressed his intention to not attend due to an overseas official mission, while floor leader Chun Ha-ram has expressed his intention to attend. I understand that the remaining party leaders and floor leaders are all scheduled to attend."

He continued, "Just as I held a meeting with the President last time with leaders Chung Cheong-rae and Jang Dong-hyuk, I will make ample time for dialogue whenever the People Power Party leadership so desires." He added, "As the meeting is scheduled for Friday, I hope to be patient and wait until then and be able to join them."

Regarding Democratic Party floor leader Han Byung-do's remarks that "there are differences of opinion between the ruling party and the government" regarding the government-announced bill to establish the Public Prosecutors' Office and the Central Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials, Secretary Kim stated, "I understand that floor leader Han has acknowledged his mistake."

He added, "I heard that a floor leader posted a revised statement, and there are no disagreements between the ruling and opposition parties. While there are various opinions among party members regarding the bill to establish the Public Prosecutors' Office and the Central Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) as part of the prosecution reform, I want to make it clear that there are no disagreements between the ruling and opposition parties."

Previously, some Democratic Party lawmakers expressed their disagreement regarding the operation of the Public Prosecutors' Office and the CIO through media, social media, and plenary sessions of the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee.
