So he reacted to the appeal of Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki to share the income from oil exports, which, according to him, have risen sharply due to increased prices in the commodity market.

Profits from oil and gas in a small state with 5 million people, which is Norway, will exceed €100 billion. Write to your young friends in Norway. They must share this excess, gigantic profit, the prime minister said, speaking to Polish youth.

Petersson disputed Morawiecki's calculations and pointed out that excess revenues from oil and gas exports mostly go to the State Pension Fund (Oil Fund). He
