Opposition negotiator says it's the best possible agreement

Venezuelan opposition negotiator, Americo Martin has been parrying attacks from radicals about the terms of the agreement the Coordinadora Democratica (CD) will sign with the government. "Approving a recall referendum is the best possible agreement."

Martin argues that the agreement is guaranteed  because the Organization of American States (OAS), United Nations (UN) and the Carter Center will be guarantors of the results. 

Secondly, Martin ventures, negotiators on both sides agreed that the National Electoral College (CNE) will adjust to the lapses established by law, which stipulate a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 90 days. "Neither the government nor the opposition can shout victory regarding the recall referendum, since it was the initiative undertaken around the negotiating table."
