Prime Minister Dezső Bánffy fought an inconclusive duel with his bitter parliamentary enemy Horánszky Nándor on 3 January 1899.
The duel resulted from high political passion and the opposition's refusal to pass the budget without Bánffy's dismissal. The encounter was inconclusive, highlighting the severity of the personal hatred driving the political conflict. The specific location is not verified by the sources, as the Parliament Building was not open until 1902.
