Directorul Turnului Eiffel și-a anunțat demisia după ce personalul feminin a fost exclus în timpul unei vizite a unui grup hindus

The director of the Eiffel Tower management company announced his resignation following a controversy over the exclusion of female staff during a Hindu delegation's visit. Patrick Branco Ruivo stated he did not authorize the exclusion but acknowledged that women were marginalized. The incident led to a one-day strike by female employees and an investigation by Paris authorities. The Hindu group involved apologized, asserting that no one was denied access to the tower. The delegation was in France for the inauguration of a Hindu temple in the Paris suburbs, and female staff were reportedly asked to leave their posts temporarily during the visit.
