The 3V Movement (, M3V), whose complete name is "Vaccines We Want Truth Movement" (), is an anti-vaccination party in Italy.
History The 3V Movement was founded in January 2019, with the aim of politically representing all the anti-vaccination movements in the country; its president is Alessandra Bocchi, while its secretary is Luca Teodori. By 2020, the M3V had taken part in several regional elections, gaining very poor results: its best result was reached in the Venetian regional election with 0.7% of votes.
The 3V Movement slightly gained attention amid the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Italy. In the Italian local elections of 3–4 October 2021, the M3V elected its mayoral candidates in the municipal councils of Rimini (Matteo Angelini, who got 4.1% of the votes) and Trieste (Ugo Rossi, who got 4.5% of the votes). On 21 September Ugo Rossi was arrested for insulting a public official and causing aggravated injuries during an attack on two Carabinieri in a dispute that broke out over another candidate of the movement not wearing a mask in a post office.
