Controversies Repubblika In August 2021, local NGO Repubblika demanded an apology from Borg. The incident followed a different NGO asking social media users whether they would rather see Borg's Nationalist Party replaced by a new political party. In a Facebook post, Borg "strongly condemned" both non-governmental organisations and "completely disassociated" himself "from entities like these, whose main goal goes beyond the principles and values of our glorious party." The "attack" spurred Repubblika president Robert Aquilina to warn of "fascist sentiments" and demanded an immediate apology. To date, none has been forthcoming. Personal life Borg was raised in Nadur, Gozo and is currently living in Fontana, Gozo. He received his primary education at the Bishop's Conservatory School, secondary education at the Gozo College Secondary School, and attended sixth form at Sir M. A. Refalo in Victoria, Gozo.
