청와대가 13일 검찰개혁·보완수사권 후속 논의 관련해 "이재명 대통령은 '당에서 충분한 논의·숙의가 이뤄지고 정부는 그 의견을 수렴하라' 지시했다"고 전했다.
청와대는 이날 오후 언론 공지에서 더불어민주당 일각의 검찰개혁·보완수사권 이견 표출 관련한 대통령 지시 사안을 밝혔다.
이같은 발언은 전날 정부의 중대범죄수사청·공소청 설치 법안 공개 후 민주당 내에서 "제2 검찰 특수부를 만드는 것" 등 이견이 공개적으로 제기된 가운데 갈등 여지를 줄이려는 의도가 깔린 것으로 보인다.
또 향후 정부 제출 법안 심의 및 형사소송법 개정안 등 논의 과정에서 불거질 민주당내 우려에 대한 정부의 반영 여지를 열어두려는 의도 역시 포함된 걸로 보인다.

The Blue House said, "President Lee Jae-myung has ordered the party to deliberate on prosecutorial reform and supplementary investigative powers and to bring them into the government's hands."
After the government unveiled the bill establishing the Serious Crimes Investigation Service and the Public Prosecution Service, the Democratic Party publicly expressed its disagreement, saying, "This is creating a second special prosecution unit." The Democratic Party intends to reflect its concerns during the review of the government-submitted bill and the discussion of amendments to the Criminal Procedure Act.

The Blue House reported on the 13th regarding follow-up discussions on prosecution reform and supplementary investigative powers, saying, "President Lee Jae-myung instructed, 'The party should have sufficient discussion and deliberation, and the government should collect their opinions.'"
In a press release that afternoon, the Blue House disclosed the President's directive regarding the dissenting opinions expressed by some within the Democratic Party of Korea regarding prosecutorial reform and supplementary investigative powers.
These remarks appear to be intended to mitigate potential conflict amid public disagreements within the Democratic Party, including over the "creation of a second special prosecution unit," following the government's announcement the previous day of the bill establishing the Serious Crimes Investigation Service and the Public Prosecution Service.
These remarks also appear to be intended to leave open the possibility of the government addressing concerns raised within the Democratic Party during future deliberations on government-submitted bills and amendments to the Criminal Procedure Act.
