Female staff members at the Eiffel Tower were removed from their positions during a visit by a delegation from BAPS, an ultraconservative Hindu religious movement, on September 5. This decision sparked a strike and launched two administrative investigations.
The incident exposes internal tensions within the company operating the monument: contested management, social friction, and political oversight deemed insufficient by employees.
