When? Possibly the last "socialist" government that we had was during the second half of the 90's (not counting the post revolution govs).
The last PS government was not socialist/centre-left wing government, it was in fact more liberal and right wing. Today we have a centre-right government and things are the same or worse.

Depends of who is observing. The Estado Novo was not a military dictatorship, it began like one, in a military coup but after 1933 it lost that "characteristic". And during the finals years, the Marcelismo period, things in general were not bad in terms of job, income, social care and social security (that was implemented during that years).
And of course many people now see that period has a good period and not today was many things are normally wrong here.
We were also a country at side Europe and we still are, so things here are also a bit different. A socialist government will be only in name and not in policy and do a liberal/right wing politics. The Communist party is still the third politics force... (and a few youngs still believe a soviet paradise...no comments) and so on.
