Even I don't understand why those people are destroying the bitcoin ATMs and making protests against bitcoin ?
What loss/damage does it cost them to use bitcoin and even if it does cost a damage then why don't they not use bitcoin at first place.
It's not like the government is prohibiting the use of USD and only accepting bitcoin. They still have both the options and people can choose what they like.
This act by those people seems like some anti-bitcoin group is funding them to do such actions against bitcoin.
If the government wants then they can penalize or punish the people involved in such acts but it's for their good that they are not doing any such things.

Violence and hooliganism are regular occurrences during politically motivated protests in Latin American region. The government needs to react with an iron hand. Or maybe this is what the protestors want. Then they can claim that the government is being too authoritarian on the protestors. In a way, I support the moderate approach taken by the president, Nayib Bukele. By allowing the protests to continue, the president has made sure that the public gets to see the vandalism and violence that they bring with them. And in the long run, this may turn the public opinion against the protestors.

this is a political act carried out to pressure the government. especially related to policies that are considered authoritarian.
In this way, the public will be able to judge how the perpetrators of the destruction, which I think are not victims or the people, are burdened by the decisions made by the government.
we will see how the government of El Salvador handles this problem to continue to provide security and financial guarantees for the use of bitcoin and crypto in the country.
