As a member of LYMEC in the 1990s, you are not wrong. Left-liberalism had four parties in that era: Alliance (NI), Radikal Venstre (DK), D66 (NL) and Lib Dems (GB).
There were right-liberals in Germany, NL and the Nordics.
The CEE parties were changing so fast then I couldn't keep up.

Full support for our ALDE and LYMEC partners in their defense of the rights of Russian citizens who are facing increasing repression and elimination of all forms of dissent. When defenders of freedom are silenced it is freedom itself that is attacked.
