朴대통령 "정부조직안 처리안되면 식물정부"
박근혜 대통령이 4일 취임 일주일 만에 대국민 담화를 발표한 것을 계기로 국정공백의 장기화 국면을 피할 수 있을지 관심이 모아 진다.향후 임시국회 개최 여부를 단언할 수 없는 만큼 2월 임시국회 회기인 오는 5일 까지 정부조직법 개정안이 처리되지 않을 경우 국내외적인 안보와 경제 위기 상황 속에서 국정 파행이 불가피할 것으로 보인다.이럴 경우 박 대통령이 이날 대국민 담화와 청와대 수석비서관 회의에서 언급한 대로 "일을 하고 싶어도 할 수 없는 식물정부가 되는 헌정 사상 초유의 일"이 현실화할 수밖에 없다. 하지만 조기에 파행에서 벗어날 묘책을 마련할 전망은 밝지 않다. 여야 간의 '기싸움'은 이제 '감정싸움' 양상으로까지 번졌다. 박 대통령이 삼고 초려해 발탁한 김종훈 미래부장관 내정자의 사퇴 파장도 크게 작용했다.'박근혜 정부'의 핵심인 미래창조과학부의 김 내정자는 4일 국회 정론관에서 기자회견을 자청, 개편안을 둘러싼 '정치권의 난맥상'을 비판하며 내정자직 사퇴를 전격 선언했다
