The Liberal Reformist Party (Romanian: Partidul Liberal Reformator, PLR) was a centre-right liberal political party in Romania founded on 3 July 2014 by Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu.[2][3] In February 2014 the National Liberal Party (PNL) split from the Social Liberal Union alliance with the Social Democratic Party and later in July 2014 joined the European People's Party (EPP) group in the European Parliament. Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu, along with almost 30 MPs, left the PNL to establish a new liberal party in Romania, intending to become the Romanian member of ALDE and the Liberal International.[4] The party's first congress was held on 1–2 August 2014.[5] On 19 June 2015 the PLR merged with the Conservative Party (PC) to form the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE).[6][7]
