Zolin Kotzatino (12 November 1968โpresent) is a politician, lawyer, and writer who currently serves as the mayor of Aachanecalco, the largest city in the 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 Mixmantepantlatoani) for the Cenaachanecalco district from 2007 to 2014, and prior as the deputy prosecuting attorney from 2005 to 2007.
Early life
Zolin was born to Lyubomir and Yana Kotzatino (nรฉe 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 Nahua 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.
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 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."
Early career
Upon matriculation from university, Kotzatino found employment at X through a connection via his maternal uncle.
