The '''Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party''' ('''ALDE Party''') is a [[European political party]] composed of 76 national-level parties from across Europe, mainly active in the [[European Union]]. The ALDE Party is affiliated with [[Liberal International]] and a recognised European political party, incorporated as a non-profit association under [[law of Belgium|Belgian law]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.liberal-international.org/site/Co-operating_Organsisations.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=13 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113022549/http://www.liberal-international.org/site/Co-operating_Organsisations.html |archive-date=13 November 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

It was founded on 26 March 1976 in [[Stuttgart]] as a confederation of national political parties under the name "Federation of Liberal and Democrat Parties in Europe" and renamed "European Liberals and Democrats" (ELD) in 1977 and "European Liberal Democrats and Reformists" (ELDR) in 1986. On 30 April 2004, the ELDR was reformed as an official European party, the "European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party" (ELDR Party).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.eldr.eu/en/press-releases/european-liberal-democrats-change-party-name-alde-party-0 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130213054307/http://www.eldr.eu/en/press-releases/european-liberal-democrats-change-party-name-alde-party-0 |url-status=dead |archive-date=13 February 2013 |title=European Liberal Democrats change party name to ALDE Party &#124; ALDE Party |publisher=Eldr.eu |access-date=23 September 2013 }}</ref>

On 10 November 2012, the party chose its current name ALDE Party, taken from its then-[[European Parliament]] [[Political groups of the European Parliament|group]], the [[Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe group|Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe]] (ALDE), which had been formed on 20 July 2004 in conjunction with the [[European Democratic Party]] (EDP). Prior to the [[2004 European Parliament election|2004 European election]], the European party had been represented through its own group, the [[European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party Group]] (ELDR) Group. In June 2019, the ALDE group was succeeded by [[Renew Europe]].

{{as of|2024|}}, ALDE Party is represented in European Union institutions, with 51 [[Member of the European Parliament|MEPs]] and five members of the [[European Commission]]. Of the 27 [[Member state of the European Union|EU member states]], there are two with ALDE-affiliated Prime Ministers: [[Kristen Michal]] ([[Estonian Reform Party]]) in Estonia and [[Alexander De Croo]] ([[Open Flemish Liberals and Democrats|Open VLD]]) in Belgium. ALDE Party members are also in governments in ten other EU member states: Cyprus, France, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Germany and the Netherlands. [[Charles Michel]], former Belgian prime minister, is the current president of the [[European Council]].

ALDE's think tank is the [[European Liberal Forum]], led by [[Hilde Vautmans]] MEP, and gathers 46 member organisations. The youth wing of ALDE is the [[European Liberal Youth]] (LYMEC), which is predominantly based upon youth and student liberal organisations but contains also a small number of individual members. LYMEC is led by Ines Holzegger.

In 2011, ALDE Party became the first pan-European party to create the status of [https://www.foederalist.eu/2016/03/julie-cantalou-cocktail-party-political-party-future-pan-european-parties.html individual membership]. Since then, between 1000 and close to 3000 members (the numbers fluctuate annually) maintained direct membership in the ALDE Party from several EU countries. Over 40 coordinators mobilised liberal ideas, initiatives and expertise across the continent under the leadership of the steering committee, which was first chaired by Julie Cantalou. The ALDE Party took a step further in the direction of becoming a truly pan-European party when granting voting rights to individual members’ delegates at the Party Congress. Individual membership was eventually discontinued in 2023.

== History of pan-European liberalism ==
{{main|History of pan-European liberalism}}
[[File:ELDR logo.svg|thumb|150px|right|ELDR Party logo (2009–2012).]]

Pan-European liberalism has a long history dating back to the foundation of Liberal International in April 1947. On 26 March 1976, the Federation of Liberal and Democrat Parties in Europe was established in [[Stuttgart]]. The founding parties of the federation were the [[Free Democratic Party (Germany)|Free Democratic Party]] of Germany, [[Radical Party (France)|Radical Party]] of France, [[Venstre (Denmark)|Venstre]] of Denmark, [[Italian Liberal Party]], Dutch [[People's Party for Freedom and Democracy]] and [[Democratic Party (Luxembourg)|Democratic Party]] of Luxembourg.<ref name="Almeida2012">{{cite book |author=Dimitri Almeida |title=The Impact of European Integration on Political Parties: Beyond the Permissive Consensus |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oD7bKbo0FYEC&pg=PA102 |year=2012 |publisher=Taylor & Francis |isbn=978-1-136-34039-0 |pages=102–103}}</ref> Observer members joining later in 1976 were the [[Danish Social Liberal Party]], French [[Radical Party of the Left]] and [[Independent Republicans]], [[Liberal Party (UK)|British Liberal Party]], and [[Italian Republican Party]].<ref name="Almeida2012" /> In 1977, the federation was renamed European Liberals and Democrats, in 1986, European Liberal Democrats and Reformists.

It evolved into the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party (ELDR Party) in 2004, when it was founded as an official [[European political party|European party]] under that name and incorporated under Belgian law at an extraordinary Congress in Brussels, held on 30 April 2004 the day before the [[enlargement of the European Union]]. At the same time the matching group in the European Parliament, the [[European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party Group|European Liberal Democrats and Reformists Group]] allied with the members of the newly elected [[European Democratic Party]], forming the [[Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe]] (ALDE) with a matching [[Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe group|ALDE Group in the European Parliament]].

On 10 November 2012, the ELDR Party adopted the name of the alliance between the two parties, to match the parliamentary group and the alliance.

On 12 June 2019, the ALDE group was succeeded by a new enlarged group, [[Renew Europe]], which primarily consists of ALDE and [[European Democratic Party|EDP]] member parties and France's [[La République En Marche!]] (LREM).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.politico.eu/article/emmanuel-macron-liberal-alliance-to-be-named-renew-europe/ |title=Macron-Liberal alliance to be named Renew Europe |work=[[Politico Europe|Politico]] |date=12 June 2019}}</ref>
