Georgian president ignores oligarch Ivanishvili's opinion

Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili said today that he will not take cued from anyone, responding to the government's plan and ex-Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili's demand to move him from the residence of ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili to a smaller building, Georgia Online reports.

Margvelashvili called it a purely political topic. 'Unfortunately, it is unacceptable for Mr. Bidzina that I make my own decisions about my work. And Georgia does not need a president obeying and leaving the building on [anyone's] order,' the president emphasized.
