SOUNDBITE (English), Guy VERHOFSTADT (ALDE, BE), ALDE Candidate, "Everybody said that eurosceptics should be the third party in this parliament. It is not true, it's our the proeuropean liberals who has still the third political force in this parliament. And our weight has increased because the PPE is loosing more or less 50-60 seats. I can tell you we have now already secured of 74 seats. Tomorrow and after tomorrow, we shall secure another 10-15 seats and you should see a liberal democratic proeuropean group coming back to this parliament, stronger than in the past. Journalist:" Are you making an alliance with the socialists?" Guy Verhofstadt: "I am making an alliance with those who are ready to follow our program."
