대통령실이 24일 여당인 국민의 힘이 남은 국회 상임위원장 자리 7곳을 수용키로 결정하면서 22대 국회 원 구성이 마무리된 것 관련해 "국민의 힘 추경호 원내대표 등의 충정 어린 결단"이라고 평했다.
대통령실 고위 관계자는 이날 국회 원 구성에 대해 "여러 우여곡절이 있었으나 국민의 국회로 돌려놓겠다, 민생을 위해 24시간 불이 꺼지지 않는다는 자세로 일하겠다는 추경호 원내대표·의원들 충정 어린 결단으로 국회 원 구성이 가능해졌다"고 밝혔다.
그러면서 "민생을 위해 협치하란 총선 민심을 받드는 22대 국회가 되길 기대해 본다"고 덧붙였다.
앞서 이날 오전 국민의 힘은 의원총회를 열고 여당 몫으로 배정된 7개 상임위원장직을 추인한 가운데 외교통일·정무·기획재정·정보·국방·산업통상자원중소벤처기업·여성가족위원회를 가져가게 됐다.
여당 내에선 법제사법위원장·운영위원장 등 더불어민주당이 일방 선출한 11개 자리를 다시 나눠야 한다는 강경론이 나오긴 했으나 결국 남은 7개 자리 수용으로 마무리됐다.
추 원내대표는 의총 직후 대국민 입장 발표에서 "국민의 힘은 7개 상임위원장을 맡아 민생 입법에 집중하겠다"고 밝힌 가운데 여당은 야당의 일방 상임위원장 자리 배분에 반발해 이어온 '보이콧'을 풀고 상임위 업무에 참여할 예정이다. 추 원내대표는 원 구성 협상에 책임지고 사의를 표했다.

Regarding the completion of the composition of the 22nd National Assembly as the President's Office decided on the 24th to accept the seven remaining positions of the National Assembly Standing Committee Chairman of the ruling People Power Party, it was commented as "a loyal decision by the People Power Party floor leader Choo Kyung-ho and others."
Regarding the composition of the National Assembly, a high-ranking official in the President's Office said, "There were many twists and turns, but the composition of the National Assembly was made possible by the loyal decision of floor leader Choo Kyung-ho and lawmakers to return it to the people's National Assembly and to work 24 hours a day for the people's livelihood." “It has become possible,” he said.
He added, “I hope that the 22nd National Assembly will be a meeting that supports the public sentiment in the general election to govern cooperatively for the sake of the people’s livelihood.”

In an announcement to the public right after the general assembly, floor leader Choo said, "The People Power Party will take charge of the seven standing committee chairs and focus on legislation for the people's livelihood," while the ruling party lifted the 'boycott' that had been continuing in opposition to the opposition party's unilateral allocation of standing committee chair positions and stopped the standing committee work. plans to participate in Floor Leader Choo took responsibility for the negotiations on the composition of the House and expressed his gratitude.
