The newly elected MEP met with Graham Watson, but also with ALDE Group Leader Guy Verhofstadt, who promised him he would try to change the status of the liberal group in the European Parliament, to enable him to remain independent, yet affiliated to ALDE.
The leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats in Europe (ALDE) will come soon to Romania, where he plans to talk about how the Liberal Party has decided to abandon the group to which it belonged.
"I met with several groups, each invited me, presented things to me trying to tempt me, but my affinity is very clear, with the liberal ALDE group, I had a very applied discussion with Guy Verhofstadt about many Romanian things", independent MEP Mircea Diaconu said.
