Eiffel Tower CEO Patrick Branco Ruivo to Resign After Female Staff Excluded for Religious Visit
SETE, the operator of the Eiffel Tower, announced that CEO Patrick Branco Ruivo will depart at the end of the year following controversy over a religious visit. In early this month, female employees were sent away during a private tour by a Hindu group celebrating a new temple opening in Paris. The incident sparked outrage among staff and officials, including French Equality Minister Aurore Bergé, who emphasized that no religion stands above republican laws. An internal investigation confirmed operational errors led to the "unacceptable" exclusion of women, prompting SETE to apologize and the Hindu organization BAPS to express regret.
