It's a little early to call it yet but it would seem the yellow vest movement has lost some steam this Saturday at least as far as gatherings in major cities go, probably because of the political measures announced, the terror/gun attack in Strasbourg and entropy (a sixth person was killed last week in relation to blockades). "Only" 69k cops are on duty rather than the 89k of last week. To be fair, they manage to force the hand of the government a lot farther than any recent movement already.
There's nothing those people can do. No one wants to end up politically like the UK with Brexit or even the US with Trump.
Despite opinion polls against it, the European states signed the controversial Marakech pact anyway which was one of the topics the protests were about.
And yes the terror scare is very convenient for the powers that be. The EU parliament now has anti tank walls and can be sealed off completely so they don't have to worry about the fallout of such an attack.
The only effect of the Yellow Vests will be that Le Pen wins a sweeping victory in the EU parliamentary elections. Which just means more seats for the Salvini, Le Pen, Wilders, Orban block but not enough to make any meaningful change.
Meanwhile Juncker just keeps drunk stumbling the EU towards its downfall

And the front runner candidates that will take his place (Timmermans or Verhofstadt) are even worse than this mumbling drunk.
The yellow vest protests end the same way the protests did in Greece or any other European protest. There is no alternative so they have to accept their masters in Brussels who write laws and policies no one wants.
But Macron is willing to sign anything as long as he gets a shared EU budget so France's debt becomes Germany's and they keep receiving the farming subsidies.
It's maddening but the wheels are in motion now. The Yellow Vests are about 10 or even 20 years too late to stop this train.
