Any EU state institution which can package their motives behind a shallow "national security" excuse can exempt itself from GDPR. And whose motives are really shallow (like it could be in this case, haven't read the article), the only way forward is to bring them to court and test their "national security" excuse.

No it's not... When you ask them for your file they may return a letter ending with "we have no info about you but if you publish the content of this letter you go to prison" It happend to me. ( In the Netherlands)

  Damn, that's terrible. Do I understand correctly, you asked the police to give you what they have on you, under GDPR? Does GDPR make exceptions for police? (If I was a criminal and being investigated, I imagine it would defeat the purpose if they had to tell me everything they knew about me.)

    Not just GDPR, also WPG etc. The latter is what you are supposed to use. And no, no criminal investigation involved.
