In your X account, Daniel Parisini He uploaded a post revealing his passage through the spacious halls of the Quinta de Olivos. “The banners of the Forces of Heaven They already protect Javo in Olivos,” tweeted the famous Fat Dan, sharing the image of two flagpoles, each with a crimson cloth with golden letters, with inscriptions relating to the libertarian sector commanded by Santiago Caputo.
Banners are visual emblems that condense identity and collective belonging. According to historical records, they represent an authority, a group or a cause, and their main function has been to serve as a point of reference—on the battlefield, in religious processions or in civil ceremonies—as a vehicle of symbolic communication.
Sources indicate that Roman armies already used banners to organize troops and reinforce loyalty to command; The Roman eagle is one of the most cited examples. Currently, various political groups, generally right-wing, continue to use this symbol as a tool of identification and mobilization. In all cases, it continues to fulfill an essential function: converting a political idea into a recognizable image capable of summoning, ordering and lasting in the collective memory.
In November 2024, Las Forces of Heaven was formally launched with the objective of consolidating militancy loyal to the presidential project of Javier Milei and strengthen its presence at the national level. The space was presented as a mobilization structure that defines itself as the “armed arm” or “praetorian guard” of Freedom Advancesalthough its own leaders later clarified that this is a metaphor to describe their political and ideological combativeness and not a literal armed force.
The name of the group comes from a phrase that Milei himself repeated in his campaign, inspired by a biblical quote: “Victory in war does not depend on the number of soldiers, but on the forces that come from heaven,” a phrase that has circulated in speeches and in libertarian militancy as an allusion to spiritual or transcendent support for their cause. This phrase, and the idea of “forces that come from heaven”, was taken by the founders to name the group and give it symbolic meaning.
The composition of this libertarian current is varied and is nourished by figures linked to the leadership of Freedom Advances: digital activists, political influencers, provincial and national officials and legislators who share the libertarian and conservative agenda. Among the notable names in his leadership are, first of all, that of Daniel Parisini followed by the deputy Agustín Romo and the Secretary of Worship and Civilization Nahuel Soteloall close allies of Caputo, the main presidential advisor.
The opening ceremony of the group was held in the Buenos Aires town of Saint Michael and brought together representatives of the ruling party, who gave speeches in a combative tone to defend Milei’s management and promote the so-called “cultural battle” against what they consider impositions of the political and social left. The event included fiery harangues, slogans such as “God, country and family” and the promise to train leaders who would publicly defend the president’s project.
While its members defend their role as committed militancy on social networks and public events, opposition sectors and analysts have questioned the use of warlike language and the “armed arm” aesthetic, warning about the risks of intensifying polarization. At the same time, the government seeks to position it as an organizing tool for young people and activists within the ecosystem of Freedom Advances.
