Where do “Liberals” fit on the EU political spectrum? FDP-style classic liberals?

From what I understand on their spectrum “Liberals” generally fall slightly to the left (with a few righties thrown in that still believe in “free-market (classical) liberalism”.

More like social democrats. You can’t be a classic liberal and approve of the government in Brussels, since it’s the very thing that Montesquieu warned about—in its case, both executive and legislative power combined in the unelected European Commission, and an elected unicameral parliament that has no power whatsoever to write laws.
