대통령실 "채상병특검법 재의 요구 결정, 오랜 시간 걸리지 않을 것"

대통령실이 8일 더불어민주당 등 야당이 국회 본회의에서 단독 강행 처리한 '채상병특검법' 관련해 "재의 요구를 결정하는 데 그렇게 오랜 시간이 걸리지 않을 것으로 보인다"고 밝혔다.

대통령실 관계자는 이날 오후 용산 대통령실에서 취재진과 만나 "국민의 힘에서도 요청이 있었고 위헌성이 더 강화된 특검법안이 넘어왔다"며 이같이 말했다.

그러면서 경북경찰청이 업무상과실치사·직권남용 혐의로 고발된 임성근 전 해병대 사단장을 불송치 결정한 것에 대해 "경찰이 밝힌 실체적 진실이 그동안 제기됐던 의혹과는 많이 다르다는 게 드러났다 본다"며 "고위공직자범죄수사처도 조속히 수사를 마무리서 사실관계를 빨리 밝혀주기 바란다"고 촉구했다.

한편 윤석열 대통령은 이날 한덕수 국무총리와의 주례회동에서 "본격 장마철에 접어든 만큼 집중 호우 등 피해 대비에 만전을 기해달라"며 "순방 기간 국정 공백이 없도록 현안을 빈틈 없이 챙겨달라"고 당부했다고 김수경 대통령실 대변인이 오후 용산 대통령실 브리핑에서 전했다.

“The unconstitutionality of the Special Prosecutor Chae Sang-byeong Act is further strengthened...

On the 8th, the President's Office said, "It does not appear that it will take that long to decide on a request for reconsideration," regarding the "Special Prosecutor Chae Sang-byeong Act," which opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, pushed through at the plenary session of the National Assembly.

At the same time, regarding the Gyeongbuk Police Agency's decision to not transfer former Marine Corps division commander Lim Seong-geun, who was accused of professional negligence manslaughter and abuse of power, he said, "I think it has been revealed that the substantive truth revealed by the police is very different from the suspicions that have been raised so far," and "High-ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Office." “I hope the investigation will be completed as soon as possible and the facts will be revealed quickly,” he urged.

Meanwhile, at the weekly meeting with Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, President Yoon Seok-yeol said, "As we have entered the full-fledged rainy season, please make every effort to prepare for damage such as torrential rain," and asked Kim Soo-kyung to "take care of current issues thoroughly so that there is no vacuum in state affairs during the visit." A spokesperson for the Presidential Office reported this at the Yongsan Presidential Office briefing in the afternoon.
