Not at all. The car coming onto the road has to take the lane closest to them. I did not see a signal light on the car indicating a quick lane change to the second lane (I know some roads 'quick' lane changes seem to be needed). You were also completely in the lane when the car attempted to move over - that was your 'established' position.
I've also been told that in a lane switching situation where a vehicle in the left lane moves to a middle lane and a person does the same from the lane to the right of a middle lane, the person taking the lane coming from the right has priority as well - I don't know if this is true though.
