Eiffel Tower director steps down after uproar over removing women staff for Hindu group's visit
Patrick Branco Ruivo announced he would step down at the end of the year. An internal probe revealed 'operational flaws and shortcomings' in the planning of the visit by a delegation from the Hindu group BAPS.
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.
