The crisis didn't actually start on Thursday.
It started a bit earlier in recent days, following a ruling by Spain's Supreme Court.
It basically made it harder for migrants who reach the territory of Ceuta or another similar territory called Melilla to be returned to Moroccan territory.
The migrant crisis in Ceuta is a big political problem for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who's been a lot more lenient towards illegal migration than many of his European counterparts.
The migrant crisis that is unfolding in Ceuta, combined with Sánchez's relatively pro-immigration posture, has given political ammunition to the Spanish Premier's political rivals.
So we've seen people like Elon Musk,
commenting on the situation on social media, calling it an invasion.
We have the right-wing prime minister of Italy, Giorgio Meloni, saying that Italy is actually considering suspending the Schengen Agreement, which essentially allows the free movement of people within Europe because of what's happening in Ceuta.

This is a project that has been talked about literally since the 19th century as a way of linking Sicily to the mainland, both promoting national unity and to bring jobs and economic development to this part of Italy that has been historically impoverished.
And the government is now presenting the bridge as a security asset.
That allows it to cast the project as a military expenditure that is part of its spending commitments to NATO.
And once completed, it will include six traffic lanes, two railway tracks, and it's supposed to have a lifespan of around 200 years.
It will have two huge steel towers on each side on the mainland.
The steel towers, just to put that in perspective, will be much, much taller than the golden gate bridge towers and roughly as tall as the roof of the Empire State Building.
