I don’t see news on the gov backing out, and the protest isn’t escalating further either. No more action almost always mean gov wins

So what’s going on with the protest now?

The law was "force-passed" in the national assembly using article 49.3 (no wikipedia article in english but tldr the government can force-pass some texts at the national assembly using it) and the protests about pension sort of died down, people moved on and other events happened like the killing of Nahel by the police that sparked other movements, but its a whole other rabbithole.

So pretty much the 'wait until the next shiney thing distracts them' form of resolution.

Yea so much for the effort

You have the freedom to fight for your rights; gov has the right to totally ignore the demands
