Controversy over the exclusion of several female workers from the Eiffel Tower during the visit of a group of Hindus

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General8 September 2026 at 19:46

The Eiffel Tower, one of the most visited monuments in France and probably in the world, found itself involved in an unpleasant controversy in recent hours. The monument's organization received a petition to exclude female workers during the private visit of a Hindu religious group. The group belongs to the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) organization, which is close to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This situation generated indignation, especially considering that the names of 72 female scientists will soon be engraved on the Eiffel Tower's facade as a tribute to their legacy.
