At a time when freedom of speech is almost systematically curtailed, the right to bodily integrity is faltering and numerous laws are constantly restricting our freedom of movement, it is more important than ever for us to remember our fundamental values. As an individual, as a society, as Switzerland.

To put the world in order,

We must first put our hearts in order.

Confucius

The eagle symbolizes freedom, pride and power. It is therefore easy to understand that the eagle is very often used as a heraldic animal as well. We have chosen the name “aquilinus” (the eagle-like) because we think that freedom is the highest good of man. Moreover, freedom is also the most essential good that a nation must grant to its people at any cost if it wants to continue to exist for a long time.
