English term or phrase: Corner Meetings
"Other politicians retreat from the people, huddling for 'corner meetings' indoors"

Alguém tem alguma sugestão elegante para traduzir aqui "corner meetings" ao português?

O contexto geral é que, em oposição a determinado político que se encontra com o povo em comícios abertos e cheios de gente, há outros que, por medo de represálias, são obrigados a fazer encontros menores, praticamente na ilegalidade.

Obrigado

neutral  Maria Teresa Borges de Almeida: reuniões é feminino e clandestinos(as) não tem acento... Também não me parece que sejam clandestinas, mas talvez reuniões discretas ou não publicitadas...

  -> thank you Teresa - reuniões clandestinas it is! Well yes, but given the nature of politicians as a species I opted for a nuance of irony.

Explanation:
Sugestão.
Um piquete pode ser classificado como uma pequena reunião de protesto, facilmente dissolvida, ao contrário de uma manifestação ou um comício.
