I'll give you the most honest and accurate reply so far in the thread
The original movement pertained completely towards the rise of gas tax, just normal french citizens with jobs that are unable to pay for a decent living. Taxes in France have continued to rise last few years and this was the last drop for some.
The yellow vests movement have been hijacked by right, alt-right and right extremists. The main goal of the protests is to force French President Macron to resign, with arguments he's only for the rich etc, which he is.
