Algeria
L’Algeria è alle prese con la più grave crisi di politica interna dai tempi della guerra civile degli anni Novanta, culminata con le nuove elezioni presidenziali del dicembre scorso.
Queste ultime non sono tuttavia state ancora “accettate” dalla piazza, che chiedeva un azzeramento della classe politica alla guida del Paese negli ultimi venti anni; nonostante l’abbondanza di materie prime (Oil & Gas), l’Algeria ha esaurito il proprio fondo sovrano e presenta un’economia sostanzialmente chiusa al contesto internazionale.

Marco Your reading is possible, but I interpret the ST as referring to the general public, who oppose the economic system or the business world because the lack of sovereign currency oppresses the public as part of an economic system perpetuated for that purpose by the banking oligarchy.

economic operators

For a definition of "piazza" in an economic context, see the second entry in http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/tag/piazza/

There are other expressions that one could use: "business world" comes to mind.
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : I think this is the meaning, though "economic operators" sounds a bit like translationese to me - it doesn't convey an instantly understandable meaning. I'd say "the business world", or "the markets".

disagree Tony Keily : Or simply "the market", but here I think it's public opinion.

in the public square

"In the public square" is the EN equivalent of what they probably mean: among the hoi polloi where policy is hashed out. Cf. "in the Arab street" (no longer acceptable)..
