The '''Tepēilhuitl Crisis''' of 1997 was a month-long period of social and political unrest in [[Pulacan]].


'''Zolin Kotzatino''' (12 November 1968—''present'') is a politician, lawyer, and writer who currently serves as the mayor of [[Aachanecalco]], the largest city in the [[Pulacan|Union State of Pulacan]]. He has held the position since August 23, 2014; previous posts held include serving as the chief prosecuting attorney (Nahuatl: ''Huehuetque tenemiliz temoani'') for the Cenaachanecalco district from 2007 to 2014, and prior as the deputy prosecuting attorney from 2005 to 2007. As a prosecutor, Kotzatino led or assisted numerous high-profile investigations into the city's organized crime network. Kotzatino's crowning achievement as chief prosecutor was the effective dismantling of the local Juwa party {{Wp|political machine}}.
The crisis culminated in an attempted {{Wp|coup d'etat}} against Tezozomoctli by elements of the [[National Guard (Pulacan)|National Guard]] led by Colonel Thabo Banika (T.B.) Tshola.  
 
== Early life ==
Zolin was born to Lyubomir and Yana Kotzatino (''née'' Galyofa), immigrants from the state of [[Zhovozha]] in [[Ludvosiya]]. Their surname was initially written as "Koztadimof" before naturalization, when the name was adjusted to better match {{Wp|Nahuatl|Nahua}} [[Writing systems in Zacapican|orthography]]. In interviews and autobiographical blurbs, Zolin has often described his family as "simple, hardy, working folk"; in particular, his grandparents are remembered as "the sort of people who become the fictive grandparents of a whole village." Zolin's father Lyubomir worked as an insurance underwriter and had chosen to migrate after a Pulatec freight shipping ''calpolli'' offered both himself and his wife (an educator) steady employment. They followed Zolin's maternal uncle X, whom had previously migrated to Pulacan in 1964.
 
From as early as possible, Zolin was immersed in education. In addition to enrollment in Pulatec public schools, which by law must instill proficiency in both Setswana and Nahuatl, he was placed into {{Wp|Bulgarian language|Zhovi}}-language courses provided by an immigrants' organization to ensure that he retained the mother tongue of his parents. As Zolin later recounted, "I spoke Zhovi at home, even in front of my friends. Often, I was made to translate between them and my parents, though by that age my parents were both able to understand at least Nahuatl." As a child, Kotzatino experienced the controversial 1974 municipal annexation of Tliltapoyec as a ward of Aachanecalco. Kotzatino is also the first mayor of Aachanecalco to have been born in Tliltapoyec Ward.
 
== Legal career ==
Upon matriculation from university in 1990, Kotzatino found employment at the Cenaachanecalco Prosecutor's Office through a connection via his uncle. Working initially as an investigative clerk for the Office, Kotzatino was promoted to assistant prosecutor in 1994. His promotion coincided with a shift in Pulatec strategy towards organized crime. Prior to the 1990s, law enforcement and organized crime groups often maintained an uncomfortable coexistence. Such groups were seen as inevitable, and left alone with the expectation that their violent conflicts be kept from the public eye. With the [[Lost Decade (Pulacan)|rapid contraction of the national economy]] in the early 1990s, organized crime's influence in the economy ballooned, and gangs were infiltrating further into legitimate business. Beginning in 1992, however, the [[Pulacan#Supreme Colloquy|Supreme Colloquy]] passed a sweeping set of anti-mob legislation, empowering prosecutors for the first time to {{Wp|witness protection|protect their witnesses}} and criminalized membership in a mob-like organization. Empowered with these new tools, Kotzatino was among the first judicial officials to seriously investigate the finances of Pulacan's major organized criminal groups. In late 1994, a pool of magistrates was formed to investigate criminal gangs in Aachanecalco's Hvoruzi and Jakraji neighborhoods, headed by Kotzatino. Through a targeted series of arrests on mid-level members and use of informants, the court discovered the makings of a coordinated network of several ethnic mafias. Collectively, this organization had stakes in multiple legitimate Pulatec ''calpolleh'' groups, and connections as far afield as Zacapican's [[Western Underworld]] and southern Belisaria. The ensuing trial, dubbed the "Great Triangle Tribunal" for the three main criminal families under prosecution, lasted from January 1995 to August 1996. During the trial, violence between criminal gangs escalated notably through several high-profile shootouts, with increasing civilian casualties. Kotzatino's life throughout the trial was under threat from the mob; he narrowly avoided assassination numerous times and many court sessions were conducted from specially-secured locations to secure the magistrates' safety. The Triangle Tribunal saw several prominent gangleaders sentenced to long prison terms and, crucially, entire criminal networks dismantled; neither the Hvoruzi nor the Jakraji mobs ever recovered to their former strength. The case earned Kotzatino adoration from the public and permanent ire from organized criminal elements, many of whom remained prominent in Aachanecalco society and government. Kotzatino, as a second-generation immigrant and political outsider, was an immediate target for retaliation. Kotzatino fed into his good public reputation through managed media appearances and frequent press conferences in order to keep himself in the public eye. Through remaining relevant, he secured himself from retaliatory firing or forced resignation.  


Kotzatino was made ''Huehuetque tenemiliz temoani'' on August 22, 2007 by then-mayor Tsepo Motshekga. Motshekga, himself from the Moral Government Movement party and not from the locally-dominant Juwa, was not beholden to the latter's political machine. As such,

The Tepēilhuitl Crisis of 1997 was a month-long period of social and political unrest in Pulacan.

The crisis culminated in an attempted coup d'etat against Tezozomoctli by elements of the National Guard led by Colonel Thabo Banika (T.B.) Tshola.

Background

Main article: Lost Decade (Pulacan)

By 1997, Pulacan had spent 5 years enduring its worst economic recession since the end of the Great Kayatman War. The steel market collapse that induced the recession was exacerbated by the compounded mistakes of multiple administrations. The bombshell exposure of chronic mismanagement by the Secretariat of Finance in early 1993 had resulted in then-General Secretary Motlasi T. Chabaya committing a fatal act of autodefenestration from the Republican Palace in Mabesekwa, the seat of the Supreme Colloquy. Thus, voters went to the polls in October of 1993 in an atmosphere of shock, institutional mistrust, and economic frustration. Elected to replace Chabaya was Pantla Papalotl of the Nguzo Party. The position of President, however, remained in the hands of Capanilli Tezozomoctli, a lifelong member of the Popular Alliance for the Republic (PAR).
