Grandi put forth a proposal that the King, Victor Emmanuel III take personal command of the government. This would dismiss Mussolini as Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the military. The resolution passed by a vote of 19 to 7, with one abstention.
As the allies occupied Italy, an alternate fascist government was established in north Italy called the Italian Social Republic. It sentenced Grandi to death for treason. Grandi then fled to Spain where he was given asylum by Franco.
