Directorul Turnului Eiffel a anunțat că renunță la funcție după ce angajatele au fost înlocuite cu bărbați în timpul vizitei unui grup religios

The director of the Eiffel Tower management company announced his resignation following a controversy over the removal of female staff during a religious group's visit. This incident led to a strike and temporary closure of the monument. Patrick Branco Ruivo, who has led the company for eight years, stated he was not involved in the decision to relocate female employees, which was made to accommodate the visiting Hindu group. An independent investigation revealed issues in the organization of protocol visits, deeming the situation unacceptable. The Hindu organization BAPS apologized to those affected but claimed no employees were barred from entering the tower.
