돌아온 안철수, 정치계의 약인가 독인가?
안철수 서울대 전 교수가 미국 체류를 마치고 11일 한국으로 돌아왔다.안 전 교수가 한국을 떠나던 12월 19일 당시 대선 라이벌이었던 박근혜 후보자가 19대 대통령으로 당선되면서 안 전 교수에게 좋지 않은 상황이 벌어졌다고 한다면 돌아오는 현 시점도 크게 나아지지 않은 것으로 보인다. 안 전교수는 오는 4월 24일 열리는 노원병 지역구 국회의원선거에 출마를 선언했다. 노원병은 ‘안기부 X파일’ 사건에 연루된 전현직 검사들의 실명을 공개한 혐의로 유죄를 선고받고 국회의원직을 상실한 노회찬 공동대표의 지역구다. 이에 진보정의당은 노 전 의원의 아내이자 진보정의당의 공동대표 김지선씨를 안철수 대항마로 전면에 내세웠다. 안 전 교수는 지난해 정치 경험이 전무한 대통령 선거 후보로 정치계에 전례 없는 트렌드를 형성하면서 국민들로부터 높은 지지를 얻었다. 그러나 민주통합당과의 야권 단일화와 대선 후보로 나서는 과정에서 오랜 시간 동안 주저하는 모습을 보이면서 정치적 기반과 정책의 확립에 실패

강행처리 차단 국회선진화법 두고 여야 설전
여야의 대립으로 정부조직법 개정안의 국회 처리가 지연되면서 여당인 새누리당에서 과거와 같은 강행처리를 원천 차단한 국회 선진화법을 놓고 논란이 벌어지고 있다. 18대 국회 말인 작년 5월 국회를 통과한 국회법 개정안은 국회의장의 직권상정을 대폭 제한하고, 여야가 첨예하게 대립하는 쟁점 법안은 재적의원 5분의 3(180명) 이상이 동의해야 신속처리법안으로 올릴 수 있도록 하는 내용이다. 당시 여당의 법안 일방처리 관행에 제동을 걸며 `폭력국회' 오명을 씻어낼 수 있다는 기대 속에 마련됐지만, 과반을 기본으로 하는 의사결정구조가 흔들리면서 ` 식물국회'가 될 것이라는 반론이 거셌다. 새누리당에서는 7일 국회법 개정 논의가 표면화됐다. 심재철 최고위원은 최고위원회의에서 "선진화라는 거짓말로 분칠된 국회 선진화법 때문에 우려했던 식물국회, 식물정부가 현실화되기 시작했다"며 "한마디로 말해 소수파의 발목잡기를 제도적으로 보장하는 `소수파 발목잡기법'이라고 얘기할 수밖에 없다"고 비판했다.

새정부 국정공백 장기화…'비상국정' 불가피
미래창조과학부 핵심 기능을 둘러싼 여야 대치로 불거진 정국 파행이 새 정부 출범 9일째이자 2월 임시국회 회기 마지막날인 5일에도 지속하면서 국정공백 장기화가 현실화됐다.이에 따라 박근혜 정부는 국무회의 대신 '청와대 수석비서관 회의' 등을 통해 사실상 '비상 국정체제'에 돌입할 것으로 보인다.청와대와 야당이 '강 대 강' 충돌을 빚음에 따라 국정 파행은 불가피해졌으며 이는 고스란히 국민 피해로 이어지게 됐다. 특히 '식물 정부'가 현실화함에 따라 경제ㆍ안보위기 대응과 일자리 창출 및 복지확충 등 민생은 뒷전으로 방치된 양상이다. 실제 정부 각 부처의 경우, 수장의 공백으로 예산집행과 사업시행 등 핵심 업무 가 사실상 마비돼 '국민행복, 희망의 새시대'라는 정부의 국정 비전이 무색한 상황 이다. 이에 따라 여야 정치권과 청와대의 민생을 볼모로 한 정쟁, 정치력 부재에 대한 여론 비판이 고조될 전망이다.여야는 4~5일 이틀간 막판 쟁점인 종합유선방송국(SO), IPTV, 위성방송의 인
