Eiffel Tower director resigns after controversy over excluding female workers during visit from ultra-religious group
Patrick Branco Ruivo agreed to move the female employees during the visit of a Hindu delegation. The employees have been denouncing his mismanagement of the monument for some time.
The director of the Eiffel Tower, Patrick Branco Ruivo, has announced he will leave his position before the end of the year. His departure comes after months of complaints from staff about his management of the iconic monument. Branco Ruivo has been at the helm of the Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE), which is 99% owned by the City of Paris. The move follows a similar controversy at the Louvre Museum last year.
