Guy Verhofstadt: Macron will join a pan-European liberal movement

Liberal leader Guy Verhofstadt and French President Emmanuel Macron will campaign together in next year’s European election and create a movement that will be a “pro-European alternative to nationalists,” Verhofstadt told French daily newspaper Ouest-France on Sunday.
Verhofstadt’s liberal ALDE group in the Parliament and Macron’s La République En Marche movement would “keep their symbols,” he said. But “our objective is to create a decisive group in the future Parliament, and a tool to stop the nationalistic wave,” Verhofstadt added.
