Here is an excerpt from the 2015 French parliamentary report on « Establishing a state of play and making proposals in terms of missions and modalities of maintaining Republican order. » :
« A third and final development concerning the protesting actors was unanimously noted by those heard by the commission.

The radicalism of some shows a determination for many gatherings to degenerate. As this comment of a Yellow Vest saying himself of the First hour: « It is not the end, it is just the beginning of the beginning! Like many Yellow Vests, we make the same analysis. We are in the winter of 1940-41. We are 3 to 5% of resisters, 20% of collabos who know what they want and 80% of waiters. I and the people around me know that we are embarking on a minimum of three years of resistance. ».
