text: The main issues facing the new government were the prosecution of the war until the liberation of Italy from German occupation, as well as the practical implementation of various compromises that had been previously agreed on in principle. As Prime Minister, Bonomi formally recognized the partisan forces operating in the North as part of the war effort, and organized them under a unified command led by Army general Raffaele Cadorna Jr., who was parachuted in the occupied areas. He also approved a decree which provided for the election of a Constituent Assembly after the end of the conflict. Continuing disputes on royal prerogatives and on the extent of purges of Fascist sympathisers within the state bureaucracy, however, led him to resign on November 25. The ensuing government crisis, which saw both Carlo Sforza (who was vetoed by the British over his republican sympathies) and Meuccio Reuini being considered as potential Prime Ministers, was solved with the re-appointment of Bonomi, who offered the position of deputy prime minister to the Christian Democracy and the Communist Party. The Socialist and Action parties chose not to take part in the new cabinet.
  In the last months of war he recognized the authority of the CLNAI (a subsidiary organ of the CLN operating in Northern Italy) in case of a general insurrection, and approved decrees concerning the establishment of a provisional legislative body and the organization of a future referendum on the form of government and general elections for the Constituent Assembly. He also passed reforms in social security, increasing payments to people with lower pensions.
