The Gilets Jaunes have NOT gone away and do not plan to go away.

[dropcap]F[/dropcap]or many weeks now the people of #France have been brutalised by their own government... limbs, eyes lost, people dead and there has been no media coverage or world outcry. Less than 1 in a thousand Americans have heard about it, and far less understand the issues involved. Meanwhile, if the media—starting with the French media itself, except for Mediapart—"cover" the Gilets at all, it is to badmouth them, Thus the first anniversary of the Gilets demonstrations was headlined almost everywhere as a return of the "casseurs" (vandals and rioters).

Here's Le Parisien, for example, blaring, "A year of Yellow Vests, the vandals are back in Paris."
