There is a lot of evidence it's not. In France, the executive power (president, government, prefect) always ask a "procureur" to indict someone (issue a warrant and direct the police). In this very case, it's a "Juge d'instruction", which are notoriously independent (And it caused enough issues to have a Sarkozy/Dati law that tried to curtail this liberty around 2010, and still you have conservatives and far-right people asking for less initiative from this kind of judges (one of them ordered former president Sarkozy's phone to be put under surveillance).
Unless someone can draw a direct line from the OFMIN judge to Macron, i consider people talking about "political" bullshitter.
