Eiffel Tower reopens after staff protest over treatment of women

SIC Notícias8 September 2026 at 12:25

The Eiffel Tower reopened to the public after a protest by its staff that led to the temporary closure of the monument on Monday. The protest was motivated by an incident that occurred during the visit of a Hindu religious delegation and that provoked outrage among the workers.

The staff protested against the treatment that was given to women, although the article does not specify in detail what that treatment was. The workers' outrage was sufficient to justify the temporary shutdown of the Parisian monument.

The Paris city council has already announced the opening of an investigation to clarify the events surrounding this incident. The monument was reopened after the resolution of the labor protest.
