That was until a new poll on Sunday for France Inter radio and L'Express magazine revealed that 55 percent of French people now want the yellow vests to end their weekly protests. That compares to a similar poll at the end of November which said that 66 percent of the public were in favour of the yellow vests taking to the streets. While there were numerous arrests and sporadic clashes between police and protesters, the weekend passed off largely without incident. Some 32 percent of the French public believe Macron is a "good president of the Republic", which is almost the same level as before the yellow vest movement began. It was the first time he has mingled with crowds since the yellow vest crisis began.
