"We have enough room to welcome you," replied the Synergy-officers union, attracting a new response from the "yellow vest".

"It is clear you Nazis, you will go and open the concentration camp available north-east of Paris, the one you are trying to hide from the media," he wrote on Twitter.

“I would never be silent!
