anti-guvern la nivel local / (anti-guvernului local)?


Explanation:
Grassroots in politics usually refers to the local or community level of government, such as local councils.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassroots

(Could you say anti-guvernului local?) - Anyway, this is the meaning.

disagree  Annamaria Amik: Makes no sense in Romanian. Local government is not "guvern local" and both are grammatically incorrect.

Définition :
Ensemble des adhérents et des militants d'un parti politique ou d'un syndicat, par rapport aux dirigeants.


A grassroots movement (often referenced in the context of a political movement) is one driven by the politics of a community. The term implies that the creation of the movement and the group supporting it are natural and spontaneous, highlighting the differences between this and a movement that is orchestrated by traditional power structures. Grassroots movements are often at the local level, as many volunteers in the community give their time to support the local party, which can lead to helping the national party. For instance, a grassroots movement can lead to significant voter registration for a political party, which in turn helps the state and national parties.
