La última oración - "tanto políticos como sociales" ???????

I don't understand why "tanto" shouldn't be "tantas"  since it is an adjective that modifies "políticas como sociales" - please help? ( I read the section on use of "tanto, tanta, tantos, tantas")

Hola Joe,

Sorry for the confusion. This sentence shouldn't have taken you to that lesson about "tanto". It is not the same usage here in this snippet. Here in this sentence it is not comparing; it means "both". It is still using "tanto .... como" but in a different way. 

I've noted a new lesson on this specific use of "tanto" to publish as soon as possible.

Saludos

Inma
