That might be, but as an example from Germany, the FDP are referred to as liberal, even though they are against pretty much everything that American liberals stand for.

Oh right, like the article says it’s Keynesian liberalism. When I hear that I think “FDR style liberalism” which is the least right wing economic liberalism. I still classify it as right wing even if it’s the least right wing. That’s just my assessment.
From what I know, liberal in other parts of the world often means market liberal, not social liberal

That alone would make them some flavor of rightwing in my mind.
