Bronislow Geremek, a Polish liberal, was once named as a possible president of the European Parliament, but that did not happen because of some behind-the-scenes deals between the EPP (including the Christian-democrats and the British conservatives) and the PSE, the European socialists and social-democrats.

Geremek was killed in a car crash in Poland in 2008 and now has been honored by having the main courtyard at the European parliament in Strasbourg named after him.

Liberal Leader Graham Watson speaks, in this footage made available via EbS.
