Nunes didn't enter into any detail about what motivated Capriles to postpone his trip, he limited himself to saying it wasn't canceled.
Capriles had planned to meet with former President Alan Garcia and opposition parliamentarians next week.

Capriles was expected in Lima by the group "Friends of Venezuela", which brings together conservatives political leaders to question the victory of Nicolas Maduro and collect one million signatures to ask the Organization of American States to rule on the last election.
The government of President Ollanta Humala, a former friend of the late Hugo Chavez, was silent about Capriles' tour, especially after the crisis that caused between Venezuela and Colombia.

NDI is one of the main components of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED); that is, NED chanels its funds through four organizations, and NDI is one of them. The NED is US-government funded, but NDI doesn't have to disclose its funding/activities to the US government.

"a nonprofit organization working to strengthen and expand democracy worldwide. Calling on a global network of volunteer experts, NDI provides practical assistance to civic and political leaders advancing democratic values, practices and institutions.

Trojan Horse: The National Endowment for Democracy
excerpted from the book Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower
by William Blum
How many Americans could identify the National Endowment for Democracy? An organization which often does exactly the opposite of what its name implies. The NED was set up in the early 1980s under President Reagan in the wake of all the negative revelations about the CIA in the second half of the 1970s. The latter was a remarkable period. Spurred by Watergate-the Church Committee of the Senate, the Pike Committee of the House and the Rockefeller Commission, created by the president, were all busy investigating the CIA. Seemingly every other day there was a new headline about the discovery of some awful thing, even criminal conduct, the CIA had been mixed up in for years. The Agency was getting an exceedingly bad name, and it was causing the powers-that-be much embarrassment.
Something had to be done. What was done was not to stop doing these awful things. Of course not. What was done was to shift many of these awful things to a new organization, with a nice sounding name-the National Endowment for Democracy. The idea was that the NED would do somewhat overtly what the CIA had been doing covertly for decades, and thus, hopefully, eliminate the stigma associated with CIA covert activities.
It was a masterpiece. Of politics, of public relations and of cynicism. Thus it was that in 1983, the National Endowment for Democracy was set up to "support democratic institutions throughout the world through private, nongovernmental efforts". Notice the "nongovernmental"-part of the image, part of the myth. In actuality, virtually every penny of its funding comes from the federal government, as is clearly indicated in the financial statement in each issue of its annual report. NED likes to refer to itself as an NGO (non-governmental organization) because this helps to maintain a certain credibility abroad that an official US government agency might not have. But NGO is the wrong category. NED is a GO.
Allen Weinstein, who helped draft the legislation establishing NED, was quite candid when he said in 1991: "A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA." In effect, the CIA has been laundering money through NED.
...
And between 1990 and 1992, the Endowment donated a quarter-million dollars of taxpayers' money to the Cuban-American National Fund, the ultra-fanatic anti-Castro Miami group. The CANF, in turn, financed Luis Posada Carriles, one of the most prolific and pitiless terrorists of modern times, who was involved in the blowing up of a Cuban airplane in 1976, which killed 73 people. In 1997, he was involved in a series of bomb explosions in Havana hotels.

Why is Nunes involved in this, of course! 
It's unexpected to see him making public statements like this. They must believe they've got the upper hand in their scheme.

Check out this article from May 31. It stinks of NED and opposition trying to muscle their way into anything they can twist into support.

Henrique Capriles is coming to Lima? Will Humala Receive him at the Presidential Palace?
The Opposition argues that Peru has always received candidates in the past and, in this case, the Venezuelan should not be the exception
President Ollanta Humala is at a new crossroads. To receive or not to receive the main opponent to Nicolas Maduro's government? For Peru's political opposition, a meeting between Henrique Capriles and Humala in the Presidential Palace would be a good opportunity to dispel any doubts that (Humala's government) is associated with the Chavez government. The question is: Will he?
...
Congressman Luis Iberico argues that the visit of the leader of the opposition Venezuelan Lima is an opportunity for the Peruvian President to show himself as a "statesman who seeks to create a meeting point in the region." If it turns out that Humala doesn't receive Capriles in the Palace, Iberico said "the only reason not to receive Capriles would be an ideological issue or some other type of dependency on Chavismo."
...
Congressman Teófilo Gamarra From the Gana Peru party said to elcomercio.pe that "Mr. Capriles is free to come to the country and meet with people who sympathize with him."
Regarding a possible meeting with President Ollanta Humala, Gamarra Saldiva just said "the president will decide in due course whether or not he will meet with Henrique Capriblles".

Looks like they got an answer they can't pretend not to understand but they're going to go ahead and pretend to regardless.
These people are unbelievable. Can you imagine if Sarah Palin had gone globetrotting crying that she was robbed? These clowns stated they'd release a further statement but there's nothing out there except Capriles' people saying he had to rearrange his plans because of urgent business lol.
From a few days ago,
Saturday June 1, 2013
Luis Nunes, a member of the organizing committee to bring the Venezuelan opposition leader (to Peru), told elcomercio.pe that Henrique Capriles called off his trip to Lima . This is due to internal political affairs of the country.
"We don't have the new date for Capriles to come. In the coming hours we will be sending its official statement explaining the reasons. Venezuela's internal situation continues to worsen, and therefore political leaders have to identify their strategies for action," he said.
Finally, the organizing committee member denied that the postponement of the visit of former presidential candidate in Venezuela was due to the controversy that has arisen over whether President Ollanta Humala would receive him or not in the Presidential Palace.
"The delay has nothing to do with it. The agenda was practically confirmed and we'll see what happens in the next few hours," he said.
