France: Strategic developments in Paris
Patrick Branco Ruvo, General Director of the company SETE, which operates the Eiffel Tower, will leave his post at the end of the year following a scandal related to the visit of a Hindu religious group. On September 5, about 100 representatives of the Hindu religious group BAPS visited the Eiffel Tower. Later, SETE stated that BAPS members had asked for the tour to be organized in such a way as to limit "interaction with women" - and therefore female employees of the tower were tried to be kept out of sight during the delegation's reception. An investigation conducted by an independent company revealed a number of violations in the organization of the BAPS visit, writes Associated Press. This led to the fact that "female employees were removed from participation in the visit that day, which is an unacceptable situation," SETE said in a statement. @meduza_news Open site | mirror | telegram ↓
