In 1984 French Polynesia’s powers of self-government were enhanced by the passage of the Statute of Autonomy. This allowed French Polynesia to have its own flag and anthem alongside the emblems of the French Republic. The President ... acquired chief executive powers and new areas of responsibility. The regulatory powers of the Council of Ministers were extended as well. Since 1984 French Polynesia has celebrated Autonomy Day on 29 June, although the date is not without controversy, being also that of French Polynesia’s annexation by France.
