As an European (who had lived in multiple countries in Europe) I can tell you that around here Liberal actually means Neoliberal.

Sure, they pay lip service to a selected set of inequalities (and even then, with massive selectivity and hypocrisy - for example they will at times express anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment) - whilst heavily promoting the secondarisation of the powers elected in Democracy to the power of Money (the whole point of Low Regulation and Privatisation of natural monopolies is that the State which is controlled by the citizens through their vote, comes second to Money) , often openly defending Wealth Inequality.

In Europe the real Classical Liberal ideals tend to be found not in "Liberal" parties but in the mainstream Left, specifically Social Democratic parties.
