CARACAS/HOUSTON (Reuters) - Some members of the Venezuelan opposition said on Monday, the eve of the planned signing of an agreement on presidential elections next year, that they doubted President Nicolas Maduro will follow through on his promises.

Maduro's government and the opposition are set to meet in Barbados to sign a deal on election conditions, marking a restart to talks paused since last year aimed at finding a way out of Venezuela's long political and social crisis.
