Il y avait notamment un pink silver bloc(bloc rose et argent) : cette tactique est née lors du sommet du FMI et de la Banque Mondiale à Prague [en 2000]. [...] Elle a été réutilisée dans un grand nombre de manifestations et actions directes depuis, et se base sur une résistance festive, rythmée et colorée. Elle vise à promouvoir le queer(dépassement des genres sociaux masculins et féminins et de l'oppression patriarcale) et le travestissement. 1, record 2, French, - pink%20silver%20bloc
