In a statement to the Jersey States Assembly on 28 June about the BREXIT outcome, the Chief Minister of Jersey, Senator Ian Gorst, included the following message to the communities from EU countries living in Jersey:
“I would like to take this opportunity to send a strong message to these communities. To the long-standing French community, the Portuguese-Madeiran community, our Polish and Romanian residents, and other communities from around the world. You are as valued and recognised today as you always were. Please do not be concerned – we want you to stay.”
