La Orquesta

In June 1867, La Orquesta resumed publication under Vicente Riva Palacio,[3] who utilized the pseudonym "Juan de Jarras", a character from his first novel, Calvario y tabor.

Its principal objective was to mock the governmental decisions of Benito Juárez and his ministers, particularly Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada.

Commonly criticized were the financial administration, bankruptcy from poor implementation of the Reform Laws, the Second French intervention, and the Second Mexican Empire of Maximilian.

[9] The attacks against Juárez's administration was scathing in its editorials, like in its caricatures, which employed the physical deformation of people through the era's archetypes.

For example, cats referred to the entanglements of politicians, crabs regression to the conservative regime, and flies waste and foul odor.
